The Venue: MOTOR

The venue for the Impact Night Out event was chosen carefully to accommodate for a variety of parallel activities. Motor, an old electromotor factory from the 1920’s, was once used to work on massive engines but has now been redefined as a unique space perfect for various events.

Impact Out event series is designed to foster a community of impact enthusiasts, innovation evangelists, startupers, and tech gurus where they can share and learn about the latest developments of their field at both national and international levels.
