Welcome to the Arab Impact Summit — where regional leaders and investors unite to engineer scalable solutions for the Arab world’s core challenges in education, sustainability, and finance.
October 5-6, 2026
Amman, Jordan
The Arab Impact Summit 2026 is a bold, first-of-its-kind convening where the region’s change-makers, investors, innovators, and policymakers collide to engineer solutions for the Arab world’s biggest challenges.
Over two days in Amman, we’ll spotlight the frontline innovations redefining education, sustainability, and financial empowerment in the Arab world. Expect not just a conference, but a living lab for collaboration, capital flows, and radical ideas that can scale.
Alfanar Venture Philanthropy is the Arab region’s first venture philanthropy organisation. We deploy philanthropic capital to invest in, build, grow and scale impactful solutions driven by NGOs and social enterprises to enhance financial and social returns. Over the past two decades, we have supported over 200 social enterprises across 4 countries. By investing in the region's changemakers, we are building a sustainable impact economy.
The Arab Impact Summit 2026 is built to deliver tangible results across four fronts
The summit focuses on five areas shaping the future of the Arab impact economy
Unlocking pathways to income and opportunity, particularly for youth and underserved communities.
Advancing practical solutions for resilience, resource management, and circular economies.
Shifting from access to outcomes, with models that respond to disrupted and evolving learning environments.
Positioning culture and identity not as preservation alone, but as drivers of economic participation and innovation.
Advancing holistic health and resilience through improved access to quality care, mental health support, and financial stability.
