The IMPACTA pro­ject addres­ses chal­lenges of the Danu­be Regi­on such as long-term unem­ploy­ment, inco­me dis­pa­ri­ties, gen­der finan­cing gap through an entre­pre­neu­ri­al approach, cen­te­red on gen­der equa­li­ty, eco­no­mic empower­ment, and the inte­gra­ti­on of vul­nerable groups — young, rural, or unde­re­du­ca­ted women as well as mino­ri­ties, and migrants — into the labor mar­ket. It focu­ses in par­ti­cu­lar­ly on women entre­pre­neurs and busi­ness angels in soci­al­ly inno­va­ti­ve sec­tors.

By col­la­bo­ra­ting across bor­ders, sha­ring best prac­ti­ces, and lever­aging coll­ec­ti­ve resour­ces, IMPACTA crea­tes a more cohe­si­ve and sup­port­i­ve eco­sys­tem.

The con­sor­ti­um is com­po­sed of eight part­ners — NGOs, Rese­arch Insti­tu­tes, SMEs — from seven Euro­pean count­ries (Bul­ga­ria, Croa­tia, Ger­ma­ny, Hun­ga­ry, Mol­da­via, Ser­bia, and Ukrai­ne).

The pro­ject which is sup­port­ed by the Inter­reg Danu­be Regi­on Pro­gram­me and co-fun­ded by the Euro­pean Uni­on star­ted in April 2025 and will run until March 2028.
