In June, we fulfilled our role as founders of the Impact Hub Athens and the global Association’ s shareholders at the Impact Hub Global Gathering 2025, hosted in the breathtaking surroundings of Dilijan, Armenia. Together with founders and leadership team members from over 120 Hubs across 60 countries, we came together to reflect on 20 years of global impact and to shape what’s next, together.
Over the course of three inspiring days, we celebrated the milestones that have brought us here, consolidated the relationships that sustain our work, and elevated our thinking around innovation, collaboration, and strategic growth. From heartfelt reflections on our origin story to powerful conversations about the future of business models, shared services, and local relevance, every session brought new insights and meaningful connections.
For us in Athens, the Gathering reinforced a deep truth: local impact is stronger when rooted in global solidarity. The sessions challenged us to explore how to invest in global services and joint tech products for communities, businesses and organizations that focus on impact, but also go deeper in how to leverage our role not only as a local hub for social innovation, but as co-builders of a business network that transcends borders. We left Armenia feeling recharged, connected, and ready to bring this renewed energy home.
A heartfelt thank you to Impact Hub Yerevan for hosting with such care, vision, and purpose. Your work, your stories, and your hospitality were a true reflection of what this network stands for.
Here’s to turning mountains together.
