Innovation at Drexel University is rooted in an entrepreneurial mindset dedicated to creating meaningful, sustainable change. At the heart of this philosophy is The Impact Innovation Hub (IIH), a premier program at the Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship designed to nurture the next generation of social entrepreneurs.

As Drexel’s launchpad for students passionate about solving critical global challenges, the IIH empowers both undergraduate and graduate entrepreneurs to develop market-based solutions for pressing social and environmental issues. Every venture within the hub is aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that student projects contribute to a universal call to action. By providing essential guidance and resources, the IIH transforms student concepts into viable, market-driven ventures.

We are proud to welcome a new cohort of innovators into The Impact Innovation Hub. These students represent the brightest minds in social innovation at Drexel, each demonstrating a profound commitment to purpose-driven business. From climate action to social equity, they are bringing forward creative solutions to the challenges they are most passionate about.
