Frankfurt Impact Networking: Breakfast Series for Social Entrepreneurs & Investors

Frankfurt Launches New Networking Series for Impact-Driven Businesses

A new networking series, Frankfurt Business Change Makers: Breakfast, is set to launch on February 25, 2026, aiming to connect economic success with social impact. The series will offer a platform for key players in the impact ecosystem to share insights into funding instruments, programs, and support services.

The initiative is organized by the Creative Industries Competence Centre of Wirtschaftsförderung Frankfurt GmbH and is designed to foster inspiration, exchange, and networking among founders, companies, investors, and organizations committed to a more sustainable economy. According to organizers, the series will provide a relaxed atmosphere, with coffee and croissants, for participants to connect and collaborate.

The inaugural event will feature presentations from Villa Gründergeist, with Patrick Mijnals, and the Social Entrepreneurship Netzwerk Deutschland e. V. (SEND). Agnesa Kolica, regional spokesperson for Hesse, will represent SEND at the breakfast meeting. The event aims to bring together individuals and organizations actively shaping the transition to a more sustainable economic model.

Following the February kick-off, the networking format will take place every two months, specifically on the last Wednesday of even-numbered months. This regular cadence is intended to build a consistent community and facilitate ongoing dialogue.

Participation in Frankfurt Business Change Makers: Breakfast is free of charge, but registration is required. Wirtschaftsförderung Frankfurt, in collaboration with Villa Gründergeist and SEND, is inviting individuals to join the series, forge new connections, and contribute to effective entrepreneurship.

The launch of this series comes as impact investing continues to gain momentum globally. The Impact Investor Global Summit 2026, as highlighted in recent events listings, demonstrates the growing interest in mobilizing private capital for positive social and environmental outcomes. Networks like Impact for Breakfast also cater to a similar audience of family offices, foundations, and funds focused on social enterprise and impact investing.

Frankfurt’s move to establish a dedicated networking series underscores the city’s commitment to fostering a thriving impact economy. The event series aligns with broader trends in sustainable business practices and the increasing demand for investment opportunities that generate both financial returns and measurable social or environmental benefits. The 9th Sustainable Investor Summit, focusing on impact investing for institutional and semi-professional investors, further illustrates this growing trend.

The organizers hope the breakfast series will serve as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration, driving the development of impactful businesses and initiatives within the Frankfurt region and beyond. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the series aims to unlock new opportunities for investment, partnership, and positive change.
