Why the Nudge Global Impact Challenge?
The Nudge Global Impact Challenge is a six-month personal development programme for young professionals that focuses on leadership, sustainability and impact creation. Our 1,155 alumni form a global network of like-minded young professionals creating impact within their organisations, networks and social environments. Participants join us from leading companies, social enterprises, governmental and non-governmental organisations, or while completing their studies.
A unique learning experience for future leaders who want to make a global difference
We have combined leadership, sustainability and impact creation in a six-month personal development programme, inviting young professionals to realise their very own sustainable project. We are here to provide you with the knowledge, inspiration and skills to become a force for change.
During the programme, you will receive the necessary tools to realise the change you envision and personal coaching and guidance to improve your leadership skills. We invite ambitious young professionals (23 – 33 yrs) to team up and rise to the Nudge Global Impact Challenge.

- Personal development (coaching, leadership training)
- Purpose (creating a sustainable world)
