Poduzetnici koji čine razliku!
Program Marc Impact u Hrvatskoj je pokrenut u rujnu 2025. godine, a prijave su bile otvorene do 13. listopada.
Već u toj fazi pokazalo se koliko je impact poduzetništvo u Hrvatskoj živo i rastuće područje: od više od 40 pristiglih prijava, čak 35 ušlo je u finalni izbor, što je jasno pokazalo širinu i kvalitetu domaće scene.
Na kickoff susretu službeno je predstavljeno 12 odabranih poduzeća koja ulaze u prvu hrvatsku generaciju Marc Impact programa.
Marc pruža sveobuhvatnu podršku poduzećima koja stvaraju pozitivan društveni ili okolišni učinak te jača njihovu spremnost za rast, prikupljanje kapitala i privlačenje ulaganja Namijenjen je širokom spektru poduzetnika — od društvenih poduzeća, start‑upova i korporativnih SPV‑ova (posebnih namjenskih društava) do spin‑offova sveučilišta i profitnih tvrtki u tranziciji prema visokoutjecajnim modelima.
Najboljim sudionicima programa osigurava se vidljivost na međunarodnom tržištu, te među investitorima u Hrvatskoj, Mađarskoj, Rumunjskoj, Češkoj, Srbiji i Austriji, u kojima se Marc program paralelno provodi.
Program kombinira praktičnu pomoć i stručno vodstvo kako bi sudionici učinkovito skalirali svoje poslovanje i maksimizirali društveni doprinos.

Indipendo Jobs4All Curtea Culorilor MATR Social Cooling iFresh Academia Clar EnergyTrack U sklopu projekta EcoVolve (Evolutionizing Ecosystems for Social Enterprises in the CEE Region, broj projekta: 101188814), koji financira Europska unija, konzorcijski partneri su IFUA Nonprofit Partner, SIMPACT, Erste Social Finance, Erste Group Bank i Impact Europe. Cilj projekta je razviti inovativne financijske instrumente i programe za jačanje kapaciteta namijenjene društvenim poduzećima i startupovima s utjecajem – poduzećima koja stvaraju pozitivan društveni ili okolišni učinak.
EcoVolve nastoji odgovoriti na potrebe ranih faza tržišta društvenog financiranja u odabranim zemljama srednje i istočne Europe (CEE): Austriji, Hrvatskoj, Češkoj, Mađarskoj, Rumunjskoj, Srbiji i Slovačkoj. Projekt doprinosi izgradnji poticajnog ekosustava, adresirajući kako ponudu (razvijanjem novih financijskih alata povezanih s utjecajem i uspostavom fonda za učinak), tako i potražnju (kroz prilagođene programe jačanja kapaciteta za društvena poduzeća).
Razvit će se nove inovativne financijske strukture prilagođene potrebama mladih tržišta društvenog financiranja, koje obuhvaćaju financijske instrumente povezane s utjecajem i njihovu dostupnost kroz novoosnovani fond za učinak (strana ponude), kao i povezane programe jačanja kapaciteta za društvena poduzeća (strana potražnje).
Koji su glavni rezultati EcoVolve projekta?
