Zorlu Holding served as the main partner of the imece Support Program from 2017 to 2019, aligning with the United Nations’ sustainable development goals and emphasizing “Quality Education”, “Gender Equality” and “Reducing Inequalities” to support social initiatives addressing social and environmental challenges while generating measurable positive impacts. Building upon the valuable insights gained from these programs, we actively supported the imece Impact Acceleration Program, designed to expedite the progress of impact-driven initiatives and amplify their measurable outcomes, thereby contributing to the publication of impact reports for 7 distinct initiatives.

imeceLAB, the open innovation laboratory of imece, serves as a collaborative platform where programs and processes rooted in social innovation, social impact, and human-centered design methodology are conducted, engaging the participation of approximately 2000 high school and university students to collectively generate solutions to various issues. Driven by the conviction that active youth participation is vital for creating a better future, we implement programs focused on quality education through imeceLAB.

By organizing diverse programs and events, imece serves as a unifying platform that fosters meaningful dialogue and collaboration among institutions, individuals, and companies within the ecosystem. In 2021, we hosted the “Impact on the Future Summit” under the umbrella of imece, convening organizations and individuals from diverse disciplines, both from Turkey and around the globe. The digital summit attracted over 3000 participants, featuring esteemed local and international opinion leaders as speakers who are renowned experts in their respective fields.
