WHAT WE DO
We design social impact education programs for individuals and co-create initiatives with various stakeholders.
For Academic Institutions
Together with universities and schools, we design and implement programs to help students of all backgrounds discover their social purpose and drive lasting impact. We have partnered with dozens of schools and universities to offer programs spanning from bootcamps to full degree programs on topics such as social entrepreneurship, technology for good, design thinking, and purposeful leadership.
For Organizations
We partner with organizations and companies to achieve impact-focused objectives for their philanthropy and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. This ranges from organizing social and environmentally themed global competitions and accelerator programs to providing impact investment advisory and capacity building support to startups.
For Changemakers
Our core mission is empowering young change-makers through a “learning by doing” approach. Our programs convene like-minded aspiring social innovators from around the world to learn from and support each other, while collectively making real impact through projects, funding, and local engagement.

We are also committed to supporting our community partners and the broader ecosystem with funding and pro-bono support.

Linking China And World
We believe in linking China and the world, through meaningful exchanges centered around social responsibility and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
I was drawn to the Tech4Good competition because it offered the chance to collaborate with a diverse group of people from various disciplines. As a Master’s student in Engineering Technology, specializing in electronics and ICT at the University of Leuven, I wanted to expand my perspective beyond technical expertise. When I learned about Huawei’s Seeds for the Future program, I applied immediately and was fortunate to be selected. The competition allowed me to work alongside incredible teammates with unique skill sets.

Follow the timeline of the Tech4Good program as it helps the team stay on track. Be humble enough to realize that the idea you are in love with may not be the best one. If you are a leader, your role is to serve your team.

Sometimes you can be so attached to a cause, but the organization you’ve selected isn’t necessarily having the most effective or greatest impact on that cause. It’s interesting to prioritize between what types of causes are most important to solve and which organizations are best at solving their respective causes.

PIM opened up a whole new horizon for me, taught me how to take real responsibility, and enlightened me to incorporate my academic interests such as psychology into the wider world of philanthropy.
