Enactus Cologne at Gateway Impact Day 2026 | Social Entrepreneurship

Great ideas can change the world – when we put them into action! That was exactly what Gateway Impact Day 2026 at TH Köln was all about. As a partner of the event, Enactus Cologne was also there to present our commitment to sustainable entrepreneurship and connect with Cologne's start-up community. 🚀

Innovative Ideas with Real Impact

The program offered exciting insights into the world of social entrepreneurship. Four start-up teams presented their innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges: from better healthcare and support for people with prosthetics to sustainable mobility and conscious action.

The founding stories of Anastasia Bondar (HolyShit) and Kaan Sevinç (straptic) were particularly inspiring. They showed how initial ideas can develop into successful projects with a positive social impact.

Enactus Cologne Right in the Middle of It!

Lena Kowalzik (Team Lead) and Julia Rosa (Head of HR) represented our association at the event and introduced Enactus Cologne and our activities.

In addition to the talks and start-up pitches, the event featured an exhibition where visitors could learn about the various projects and initiatives. Enactus Cologne was also represented here and used the opportunity to engage with aspiring entrepreneurs, make new connections, and expand our network.

From Ideas to Real Impact!💛

For us at Enactus Cologne, impact is more than just a buzzword. As students, we develop entrepreneurial projects that create concrete solutions to social and environmental challenges.

Gateway Impact Day showed just how much is possible when innovative ideas meet entrepreneurial thinking and social commitment – exactly what Enactus Cologne stands for.
