About

ImpactNest was founded in July 2026 to carry out all kinds of training, consultancy, project development and research activities — at national and international level and primarily for public institutions, civil society organisations, private sector companies, universities, start-ups, investors and all societal stakeholders — in the fields of social impact, impact measurement and management, sustainable development, impact accounting, social innovation and social entrepreneurship and related areas.

To this end, it may organise all kinds of training, workshops and certificate programmes and issue certificates of participation and achievement; conduct organisations' social impact analyses, write reports and develop sustainability strategies; carry out R&D and field research in the social sciences and humanities, design and implement projects, and provide all kinds of consultancy and guidance on these topics.

The core team — Dr. Gonca Ongan, Tuğçe Aktepe and Agata Fortuna — worked together for years at the Koç University Social Impact Forum (KUSIF), providing training, consultancy and project support to dozens of organisations in sustainability, social entrepreneurship and social impact management, and now bring this experience together under ImpactNest.
