Tickets are LIVE – MIA #2 Closing Ceremony
The MAN Impact Accelerator #2 isn’t quite over yet and now is your chance to celebrate the journey and the closing of another successful batch.
Back in September, we received hundreds of applications from all over the world and we identified 8 promising social entrepreneurs in the mobility and logistics space. Since, we welcomed them in Munich to kick off the accelerator journey, travelled to 4 continents and 8 months later, we return to Munich for the final highlight of the year…
Whether you are an intrapreneur, startup entrepreneur, industry expert, investor, social business enthusiast or journalist, save the date in your calendars and join us for the 2nd MIA Closing Ceremony.
- When: Tuesday June, 25th @4pm -7.30pm
- Where: MAN Truck Forum, Dachauer Straße 570, Auditorium, Munich
- Registration: Participation is free, but a registration is necessary! Limited capacity - RSVP on Eventbrite
The purpose of this evening is to make new connections, hear innovative social business ideas from budding entrepreneurs in the mobility and logistics space, experience the symbiotic relationship between social and corporate innovation and bring together all those who wish to play a part in making the world a better place!
Events like these are also part of what inspires and supports the intrapreneurial culture that is rapidly disrupting the industry. This will be a unique opportunity for us to showcase the social entrepreneurial drive of large corporations such as MAN Truck and Bus and their ability to use their talent and expertise to solve problems across a wide range of markets.

Harnessing the Power of Networks for Social Impact : Part I
Networks exist in many forms and serve a vast array of different purposes. There’s the beautiful synergies in nature that allow humans and trees to breathe each other’s waste, and there’s the way that organisations function through a distributed network of interacting social animals. In all these examples, shared purpose and communication (of one type or another) are key.
“I Was Truly Blown Away When I Heard the News” - Yunus Social Business Has Distributed 650k USD to H
Since the COVID-19 crisis began in January this year, we at Yunus Social Business have been acutely aware of the potential threat it poses to the populations we support.

Forget the “Consulting” Approach - It’s High Time we Mentor by Listening
The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes once famously noted that: “we have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less“. The act of listening as a means of truly understanding an entrepreneur is an important skill when it comes to tackling the challenges they face.
