Center for Impact Innovation and Sustainability (CIIS) – The Center for Impact Innovation and Sustainability, under Kis Impact, was established in 2020.

With a mission to promote innovation and develop sustainable business models in Vietnam, CIIS focuses on addressing specific challenges faced by businesses while also implementing projects that generate positive social and environmental impacts. This is achieved through collaboration with both domestic and international partners, building networks, and enhancing innovation capacity within the business community.

The CIIS logo features a circle formed by gradient green leaves, symbolizing sustainable growth, connection, and the spread of positive impact. The leaves are arranged from light to dark shades, resembling a cyclical motion that reflects the continuous movement of innovation and impact-driven initiatives. This design embodies CIIS's mission to promote innovation activities closely linked with sustainability values and positive community impact. Beneath the logo is the slogan “Design Innovation Delivery Impact”, where “Design Innovation” is highlighted in orange-yellow to represent creativity and innovation, while “Delivery Impact” in green reflects the commitment to delivering practical and sustainable impacts—not only for the environment but also for society as a whole.

Over nearly five years of operation, CIIS has conducted research on innovation and sustainable business model development, implemented local capacity-building programs, and carried out commissioned projects from domestic and international partners. It has also developed training materials on circular economy entrepreneurship and innovation-driven startups in cultural heritage. CIIS aims to become a bridge connecting startups, researchers, businesses, and international organizations to promote high-impact innovation solutions that address social and environmental challenges—towards building a sustainable and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
