The Social Impact Award is the largest international program on social entrepreneurship, dedicated to young people aged 14-30, launched in 2009 by the Impact Hub Vienna, in partnership with the Erste Foundation and Vienna University of Economics and Business. The focus of this program is on young people between the ages of 14 and 30 who are willing to contribute to social change and be part of the development of social entrepreneurship in the country and in the world. Today, the program is implemented in more than 15 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa and includes more than 8,000 young people annually.
