Public-benefit foundation

Towards a grand Europe

We envision a European economy that stands on solid industrial ground, supported by locally rooted businesses, and connected through trust-based networks. It is an economy where leadership is human-centered, businesses operate with fairness and depth, and innovation serves society rather than the other way around.

Founders with a vision

The three founders, Jan Lagast, Steven Storms, and Kristel Uibo, shared a dream to create a foundation, organise its international networking, and build a grand Europe through a variety of individual business initiatives.

They are working for a true purpose, which is at the core of all our endeavours.

In European cities

ImpactBuilders City Chapters are active across Europe. We are currently running city chapters in Ghent and Tallinn, and are establishing new chapters in Milano, and Zurich. Each chapter connects local leaders with peers across borders, creating a trusted European network that supports collaboration, investment, and sustainable growth.

Profit center concept

Every new legal entity and every new division within the universe of ImpactBuilders has to become profitable within a few years. We decentralise the financial responsibilities towards every unit, and every unit needs to be self-reliant.

Cash donations

The capital of the foundation was formed via donations from the founders. In order to increase the potential impact on Europe, the initial capital is now going to be expanded via a global philanthropic fundraising campaign.

Land donations

ImpactBuilders wants a greener and healthier Europe. We want to increase the surface of European forests, and better integrate a healthy food chain with a flourishing nature. Land donations help achieve this goal.
