What we do

Our purpose.

The European Impact Map exists to make Europe's impact ventures discoverable so citizens, funders, and partners can find, follow, and support the people working on what matters.

Why we built it

Why this map exists.

Across Europe, thousands of impact ventures are building solutions for society and the environment. But that work is scattered and hard to see - spread across national silos, accelerator alumni lists and PDF reports. There is no single place to find who is creating impact, in which field, or in which country. Funders miss ventures they would gladly back, partners miss collaborators, and founders doing similar work never find each other.

At the same time, more of Europe's capital is being asked to prove what it achieves. Investors under SFDR, mission-driven foundations and public budgets are shifting toward funding measurable results - yet nobody can reliably see the ventures producing them. Directories of European startups exist, but there is no open, cross-sector, verified equivalent for impact ventures.

The European Impact Map closes that gap. It brings Europe's impact ventures onto one open, shared map - visible to each other, and to everyone who wants to support them. Before Europe can measure its impact economy, it has to be able to find it. The map solves discovery.

The Map is one of the tools we are building at Public Value Hub to strengthen impact entrepreneurship across Europe. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that helps impact ventures grow - and making them visible to each other, and to the capital and partners they need, is where that begins.

What it is

An open directory of impact across Europe.

The European Impact Map is a free, open directory of impact ventures across Europe - ventures whose core purpose is measurable impact for society or the environment. Browse by category, by country, or by UN Sustainable Development Goal to find the ventures working on what matters to you.

Founding team members and shareholders of eligible ventures can submit a listing. Listing is free, and every submission is reviewed against our published eligibility criteria and methodology - so being on the map means something.

Public Value Hub supports the Sustainable Development Goals.

How it is built

European Tech Map partnership.

The map is built in partnership with the team behind the European Tech Map, which mapped more than 3,000 European sovereign tech ventures in under six months. We apply the same playbook - now with the impact ecosystem at its heart.

Who we work with

Our partners.

We believe in ecosystems. That is why we partner with companies, administrations, research facilities and investors to co-create impact. Partnerships can involve a variety of joint activities - from events to technological collaboration to co-funding of specific programs for underrepresented groups.
