EnergyTrack Projekt EcoVolve (plný názov: EcoVolve: Evolutionizing Ecosystems for Social Enterprises in the CEE Region, číslo projektu: 101188814) je financovaný Európskou úniou. Partnermi konzorcia sú IFUA Nonprofit Partner, SIMPACT, Erste Social Finance, Erste Group Bank a Impact Europe. Naším cieľom je rozvíjať inovatívne finančné nástroje a programy rozvoja kapacít pre sociálne podniky a impact startupy – teda organizácie, ktoré vytvárajú pozitívny spoločenský alebo environmentálny dopad.
EcoVolve sa zameriava na potreby rozvíjajúcich sa trhov sociálneho financovania vo vybraných krajinách strednej a východnej Európy (CEE): Rakúsko, Chorvátsko, Česko, Maďarsko, Rumunsko, Srbsko a Slovensko. Usilujeme sa o budovanie podpory ekosystému riešením ponukovej strany (prostredníctvom vývoja nových finančných nástrojov viazaných na dopad a vytvorením impact fondu) aj dopytovej strany (prostredníctvom cielene navrhnutých programov rozvoja kapacít pre sociálne podniky).
Budú vyvinuté nové inovatívne finančné štruktúry prispôsobené potrebám rozvíjajúcich sa trhov sociálneho financovania. Tie zahŕňajú finančné nástroje viazané na dopad a ich poskytovanie prostredníctvom novovzniknutého impact fondu (ponuková strana), ako aj súvisiace programy rozvoja kapacít pre sociálne podniky (dopytová strana).

🌱 Right in the middle of where change is happening: GLOBEZERO.AI at ChangeNOW in Paris.
As part of Marc, the team had their dedicated mentoring session on-site with Manuel J. Heckmann, a tech founder and investor working at the intersection of climate tech, deep tech, and digital infrastructure.
And that’s exactly where GLOBEZERO.AI belongs. With their SaaS decision engine, they enable industrial companies to analyze product-level emissions and simulate alternative materials and processes, embedding decarbonisation directly into operational decisions. The result: lower CO₂ emissions, better resource efficiency, and more resilient supply chains. 🌍
📊 From Vienna to Paris, from strategy to execution, this is what it looks like when ventures operate where real change is happening.

Two Voice, one Vision: impact that matters.
At re:Marc, we heard from leaders who understand that finance and purpose don't have to be strangers.
Radován Jelasity – Chairman & CEO of Erste Bank Hungary
'In the medium and long term NGO-s are the ones that can provide a big support in the case of System changes.' Radován brought decades of banking leadership to the conversation, sharing how financial institutions can be architects of sustainable development, not obstacles to it.
Uli Grabenwarter – European Investment Fund deputy CIO, Head of Equity Investments
'Finance institutions that are working in the space and developing Products adn programmes that are tailored to the needs of individual enterprises are vital.' Uli revealed the blueprint for how impact-driven capital can build resilient, sustainable, and purpose-driven economies that actually work.

🌍 One of the ventures from our current Marc Impact Network cohort landed a global integration and it's the kind of news that deserves more than a quick congratulations post.
Imagetwin, an AI-powered tool that detects image manipulation and plagiarism in scientific research, is now embedded directly into Wiley In Research's Exchange, one of the world's leading research publishing platforms, used by more than 1,500 journals globally. ✍🏻
But let's talk about what that actually means.
💡 Before rolling out the integration, Wiley ran a pilot across multiple journals. The results were stark: Imagetwin flagged more than 3x as many image integrity issues as human reviewers working alone! Manuscripts with serious concerns that would have otherwise made it through, were caught before publication.
That's not a marginal improvement. That's a structural shift in how scientific integrity gets protected.
And the problem it addresses is more serious than most people outside academia realize. Fraudulent or manipulated images in published research don't just embarrass the journals that publish them. They corrupt the foundation that medicine, policy, and innovation are built on. Once bad science enters the record, it spreads, cited, built upon, acted on, often long before anyone catches the error.
Manual review at the scale Wiley operates simply can't keep up. Imagetwin was built precisely for that gap. 🎯
What strikes us most watching this unfold through Marc Impact Network is how quietly and deliberately Patrick, Markus and their whole team have built towards this moment. No shortcuts. No overpromising. Just a genuinely necessary product, proven through a rigorous pilot, now trusted by one of the most established names in scientific publishing.
🤝 This is exactly the kind of venture Marc Impact Network exists to support, one where impact and business success aren't in tension, but are the same thing.
Congratulations to Patrick Starke, Markus Zlabinger and the entire Imagetwin team. The scientific record is in better hands because of what you built.

Every impact venture starts with a story.
The re:Marc 2025–2026 cohort brings together people from different backgrounds, industries, and communities, all united by a desire to create positive change. 🌍
From sustainable solutions and social innovation to new technologies and community-led initiatives, each impact venture reflects a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities around us.
What makes this cohort so inspiring isn’t just the diversity of ideas, it’s the people behind them. Every founder started with a question, a challenge they cared about, or a vision for how things could be done differently.
Take some time to explore the 2025–2026 cohort and discover the journeys, motivations and ideas shaping this community: hu.marcimpactprogramme.net/cohort-2025-2026/
