August is always a busy month - fitting in those last minute vacations, preparing for the school year, soaking up the final days of summer. And it was no different at Hub. We took some vacations, we got outside for our Monthly Member Meetup at Malcolm Yards and started working away to prep for a busy Fall!

Partnerships for the Goals
One of our favorite sayings at Impact Hub is “Impact cannot happen in isolation. It requires collective action.”
SDG 17 is built into who we are – a global community dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs developing solutions to world’s toughest challenges. We understand from a first-hand perspective the importance of combining different perspectives, trying to grow our bubble of influence and partner for greater impact.
