What we do
We are motivated students from all of Berlin's universities and improve the world a little bit every day.
How do we do that? Through social and sustainable entrepreneurship! We address social and ecological problems, develop innovative solutions and implement them in line with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Berlin team is part of the global Enactus network - a network with over 45,000 members worldwide who are committed to a more sustainable tomorrow with just as many ideas and just as much motivation.
Want to do the same?
Show impact.
The Enactus network achieved an impressive global impact in 2021/2022, including reducing 6.8 million tonnes of CO² and 9 million tonnes of waste, as well as creating 118,000 jobs worldwide. Around 60% of students are women and over 30% of students come from non-academic families. Our passion for social responsibility is reflected in these remarkable results.
7 good reasons
-
International involvement or local project work: no two Enactus trips are the same. Join one of your team's projects or join a department, use your university's equipment to develop a prototype and learn more about things you would never have encountered in the normal course of your studies and shape the change of the future with your SDG Impact.
-
Standing on the big stage, giving emotional presentations and showing the world the positive impact your entrepreneurial activities have: Enactus offers you the perfect platform to develop personally and emerge stronger from your studies.
-
Not every enactee goes on to become the managing director of a start-up, but in any case you will gain insights into the various start-up phases and learn what the ‘Problem-Solution Fit’, ‘Needs Assessment’ and ‘Proof-of-Concept’ are all about, for example.
-
Enactus offers endless opportunities to get involved and stay engaged in the network. After your studies, you can stay connected to your team or Enactus Germany as an alumni. Support local Enactus teams as an advisor or take part in (inter)national competitions as a juror. There are no limits to your commitment!
-
Taking responsibility for the change of the future means being willing to make a difference. Contribute yourself and your personality to an Enactus project, become a team leader or present in front of hundreds of people on stage at the annual National Cup: the possibilities are endless, you just have to make the most of them.
-
Your studies at a German college or university provide an excellent foundation and access to laboratories, workshops, libraries and much more to research your project or turn an idea into reality. Enactus Germany offers numerous workshops to help you build up the right knowledge.
-
Together we are strong, but heterogeneous and diverse teams are especially so. Exchange ideas with students from other departments and pool your expertise and strengths to create impact through your entrepreneurial project.
