club benefits

Imagine having people who support you – all over the world.
People who understand you – sharing your values.
Imagine having countless connections and expert skills on your side.
One network with allies for all your projects.
It’s called GICA.

The only condition: Your willingness to share your contacts and knowledge with other impact citizens.

GICA unleashes the forces of swarm intelligence and cross-sectoral collaboration.

We use 25 years of experience in network creation and media to deliver direct benefits for the three focus groups Impact startups / impact investors / esg managers.

We are a non-profit foundation. But we believe in entrepreneurial dynamics.
This is why GICA is financed by membership fees.
Being profitable, the network will grow sustainably without external funding.
