2022 has been a busy year for Impact Hub Ticino! Thanks to our growing community, we co-created several initiatives and events and generated a positive impact on people and the environment in Ticino.
Everything we have done would not have been possible without you-we sincerely thank all the people who actively participate in supporting our shared mission. Special thanks also go to our partners: AIL, Aziende Industriali di Lugano, Banca Alternativa Svizzera, Banca dello Stato del Canton Ticino, Copernicus Group, Fondazione Mercator Svizzera, Fondo pionieristico Migros, SI FA! e Sketchin.
In the coming months we will tell you more about all our activities in our sustainability report. We are pleased to share with you some of this year's highlights, hoping to see you again in 2023 to continue the work we started together.
On behalf of the entire Impact Hub Ticino team, we wish you all the best for the year ahead: may it be full of new endeavors, impactful projects, and inspiring new friendships along the way! 💝 Together we are stronger. #strongertogether

TED Discussions 2023 The year 2022 reminded us of the importance of creating intimate spaces for sharing and dialogue where we can discuss the most pressing issues of our time. During the year we organised four TED Discussions, touching on important topics such as sustainability in fashion, inclusion and diversity, climate and the food chain, and new models of governance. We thank BancaStato for supporting the 2022 TED Discussions, which were attended by more than 300 people and stimulated interesting dialogue. For 2023, we are looking for new partners who are willing to co-create these thought-provoking moments with us! Find out more >>
