THE impACT CONFERENCE
Impact through Elements of power

Being impactful: There is a reliable formula to it! On the 24th of August, the impACT Kabul Conference was successfully launched at Safi Landmark Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan. Out of the joint effort of Ahmad Fahim Didar, founder of AGHAEZ and organiser of Google Startup Grind Series in Afghanistan, Nicole Bogott, co-founder of Philia and Matiullah Rahmaty, co-founder of BookClub Afghanistan, impACT emerged.

In the Kabul edition of impACT, Afghan entrepreneurs were brought together with returnees. Out of 250 participants, more than 100 were returnees from various countries around the world. The aim of impACT was to support returnees and entrepreneurs to meet and discuss new avenues of cooperation and support. Participating organisations were AGHAEZ, the American University of Afghanistan, BookClub Afghanistan, GIZ, Institut Francais, IOM,Samuel Hall and Philia. The next conference will take place in Berlin, Germany. Stay tuned!
