Our Partners
At Impact Hub Ottawa we believe that collaboration drives innovation. We work with a variety of organizations who share our values and together we catalyze innovative approaches. Together we can do good better. We thank our Community Partners for their contribution to driving social innovation and social entrepreneurship. If you would like to partner with Impact Hub Ottawa, please contact our team.Our Co-Stewards
Together we share our home, 123 Slater, with a collective that is more than just ‘work neighbours’ sharing a workspace -- we're all committed co-stewards of a diverse community of organizations and individuals who are shaping a better future through social innovation, here at home and around the world. As of March 2019, we also welcomed a new kind of coworker and partner: our dedicated desk members. The goal of these new partnerships is to convene like-minded organizations deploying social innovation in our Nation’s Capital to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among the 30+ desks and clusters is a mix of individuals and small teams working alongside each other to address the root causes of poverty, create more sustainable cities and communities, reduce inequalities, promote clean energy, and so much more.
