ImpactX 創立於 2016 年底，團隊成員來自不同的社會界別，包括社福界、金融界、哲學系及心理學等。團隊十分關注社會各種各樣的問題，亦發現大眾大多透過媒體了解社會問題，但缺乏途徑去透徹了解社會問題。同時，香港亦是一個人口密度高的多元文化城市。有見及此，團隊創立了 ImpactX，希望透過不同的社區導賞團和體驗活動，讓大眾一起走進社區，了解平日少接觸的睦鄰，拉近人與人之間的距離。ImpactX 與各個社會議題和領域的專業人士共同策劃和設計活動，引領參加者重新認識社會各個議題，構思如何為社會作出一些改變。
ImpactX 曾舉辦過不同體驗活動，包括「少數族裔導賞團」，認識他們的生活習慣及香港生活的困難、「寶萊塢印度舞文化體驗」、「印度彩繪工作坊」。同時，亦有不少實踐活動，包括「 Spark4Impact」，參與者用四小時的時間為社會構思新點子和新產品等、「設計思維工作坊」，讓參與者學習以同理心解決問題，以及與AirBnB合作，為NGOs設計活動。

ImpactX was established by the end of 2016, with team members from different sectors, including social welfare, finance, philosophy and psychology. The core team is concerned with social problems in Hong Kong. They notice that the public usually understand social problems from media, often noticing only a tip of an iceberg. At the same time, Hong Kong is actually a vibrant and multicultural city. In view of these, the team wishes to organize different Impact Experience in Hong Kong local communities to understand the neighborhood and to bring people together. ImpactX collaborates with professionals from different social sectors to guide participants to have deep understandings of different issues and thereby think about possible ways for social changes.
ImpactX has organized different Impact Experiences, including “Cultural Tour: Ethnic Minorities’ Day & Night” to understand the lifestyles and difficulties faced by ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. “Bollywood Dance Cultural Experience” to learn Indian dancing and “Henna Workshop”. There are also many “Action” organized, including “Spark4Impact”, which allows participants to plan for new ideas and products in 4 hours, “Design Thinking Workshop” which lets participants to learn problem solving by empathy, and also collaboration with AirBnB to design activities for NGOs.
