The inverted i of our logo indicates the problem, the bottleneck which can be found in a value chain or the challenges facing people in a region; the final dot suggests a successful outcome, an upward and forward movement, an exit through a process (the circle) which considers a whole. Impact[o], as the name suggests means change… to make this a better world for all!

Our model implies putting forward the development of new and differentiated product propositions, while transferring knowledge to artisans on key success factors both productive and commercial, to operate a successful venture (either local cooperatives or groups of women).
