HCMC – The Impact Business Lab (IBL), a collaborative initiative co-organized by Fulbright University Vietnam Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI) and Impact Link Asia, is set to launch its inaugural program designed to support social impact businesses (SIBs) and university students. This is a 3-month program that aims to provide SIBs with access to innovative ideas and talented individuals dedicated to social and environmental impact. The final showcase will be take place in September 2024.
Why join the program?
- Multidisciplinary Approach: IBL embraces a human-centric and problem-based framework, encouraging innovative solutions that address the needs of customers and stakeholders.
- Mission Capacity Assessment (MCA): SIBs will get free priority access to a fully customized version of Impact Link’s MCA. A first-of-its-kind toolkit that will help SIBs assess their mission capacities, identify areas for growth, and maximize their potential for positive change.
- Comprehensive Training and Coaching: Participants will engage in a structured process involving problem deep-dive, ideation, and prototyping, under the guidance of experienced coaches and experts.
“As Vietnam’s Social Impact Business (SIB) ecosystem is still in its early stage, this initiative aims to do more than just help SIBs overcome their challenges. It seeks to ignite inspiration and nurture the next generation of innovative impact entrepreneurs, fostering a future where business solutions drive meaningful social and environmental change”, said Ms. Lam Ngoc Thao, Founder and CEO, Impact Link Asia.
