Impact Hub Berlin first began as a home for sustainability and social innovation back in 2014. Two years ago, we initiated plans to launch a new, bigger and better space to serve the booming community of impact-driven entrepreneurs in Berlin.

After opening three out of an eventual five floors of coworking, events and maker spaces, we're now ready to bring it all to life with a long-awaited, legendary Impact Hub Berlin summer celebration.

Because you all sure as hell deserve one!

The location

The new Impact Hub Berlin is located on the site of the former Kindl Brewery in Berlin, Neukölln. This former brewery hall was retrofitted according to circular economy principles, meaning resources were reduced, reused, and repurposed, in order to minimise waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Realised in partnership with the building cooperative TRNSFRM and LXSY Architects, the building – renamed as the CRCLR House – stands as a lighthouse project for sustainable architecture in Berlin.

Part 1 of the evening will start off right here for an introduction to Impact Hub Berlin and our circular economy adventure, before we all move next door to SchwuZ, our dear neighbours and long-time pinnacle of Berlin night life, who share our values of sustainability and inclusion. Here we will dance the night away along to the sounds of some super select DJs, as well as welcome drinks (first come, first served!), a sustainable glitter booth, a photobooth, a mix & mingle space and more.

The schedule

Part 1 of the event is free of charge and will involve welcome talks at Impact Hub Berlin for those yet to see it and hear the story. Part 2 is where the party really gets started. Make sure you select both tickets if you want to join for both parts!
