Impact Hub Waikato has recently opened in Cambridge to gather entrepreneurs, communities, business, and government.

Impact Hub Waikato is Australiasia's sole Impact Hub and was co-founded by entrepreneur Jessie Liu, rural lead Mariana van der Walt, impact investment and corporate engagement lead Tony O'Brien, with support from programme development advisor Paul Kerssens.

The Impact Hub focuses on three elements: community, inspiration, and physical spaces.

Impact Hub features a co-leadership structure and its members share experiences and mentor others on how to structure, fund, scale and manage their social ventures.

Findings seen on Impact Hub's Impact Report 2018 indicated that startups were founded at hubs over a four year period, and over 200 programmes to support entrepreneurs were delivered.
