MAN Impact Accelerator supports impactful startups in the field of mobility, transport and logistics across 4 continents

[Arunima Singh]

Hi All,

We are happy to announce that Yunus Social Business along with MAN Truck & Bus (a member of the Volkswagen group) has opened applications for the MAN Impact Accelerator.

The program brings social entrepreneurs from Europe, South Africa and India together to tackle social and environmental challenges through innovative solutions in the transport and logistics space. This is the second batch of the Accelerator, and we are extremely optimistic with the results from the first batch – the social businesses on average doubled their revenues and 4x'ed their impact over the course of the program.

During the 6-month program, startups will get to travel across the globe to visit mobility hotspots in Mumbai, Cape Town, Munich and San Francisco.Startups do not have to pay for the program, travel or accommodation. The entrepreneurs will get access to MAN infrastructure and assets and receive support from more than 300 mentors from companies like Salesforce, Amazon, Uber and Facebook. Among them are MAN CEO Joachim Drees and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus who has built social businesses impacting over 27 million people.

It is the last 2 weeks of the application period, and applications close on September 23rd. More information via http://impact.man.eu/.

If you are a startup disrupting mobility and transportation or you know of one, please do reach out to us!

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best

Arunima
