2. The HUB is about the power of
innovation through collaboration.
We believe there is no shortage of good ideas to solve the
issues of our time. But there is an acute lack of collaboration
and support structures to help make them happen. The HUB
was founded to address this need.
We set out to create spaces that combine the best of a
trusted community, innovation lab, business incubator and the
comforts of home.
Spaces with all the tools and trimmings needed to grow and
develop innovative ventures for the world. But above all,
spaces for meaningful encounters, exchange and inspiration, full
of diverse people doing amazing things.
The idea has been spreading like wildfire and resulted in the
emergence of a global movement. To date, there are 25+ open
HUBs and many more in the making, from London to San
Francisco, Johannesburg, Melbourne and Sao Paulo.
4. The HUB is Innovation Ecology
• A global network of spaces and
people that support social
innovation

community of people

change the world with their ideas.
5. Our ambition
To become a global network of connected
communities that enable collaborative
ventures for a better world.
At the HUB, people from every profession,
background and culture are being united by
one thing: the imagination and drive to
pursue enterprising ideas for the world.
These are the people who see and do
things differently and have entrepreneurial
passion to create sustainable impact.
The HUB is becoming the place they call
home.

8. Hub Experience
The HUB is designed to encourage collaborative ventures for a
sustainable world.
Whether you are already working on a concrete project, have
the first sparks of an innovative idea or just want to contribute
your time, energy and talent to make a positive difference, the
HUB provides a carefully curated experience to help take your
initiative to the next level.
The magic of the HUB happens when these three elements
connect. HUBs are run by dedicated “Hosts” whose role it is
to make the otherwise unlikely connections happen, a form of
“engineered serendipity”.
14. One more thing…
“...Il pericolo maggiore che oggi corre il nostro paese non risiede
tanto nel debito pubblico, nella contrazione del prodotto interno
lordo, nell’insicurezza delle periferie urbane o nella mancata
integrazione degli immigrati. Risiede piuttosto nella diffusa
sensazione di crisi che ci snerva e ci disorienta, impedendoci di
progettare il nostro futuro e quando una intera nazione smette di
immaginare il proprio domani, qualche altro lo fa contro di lei “
