CHANGE OR DIE TOGETHER
We are totally not your typical professional community.
We are Atlas, Underground! - a gathering of impact-driven, forward-thinking professionals from business, public and non-profit backgrounds. (AKA your professional secret society.) Together, we share a belief in breaking down the silos that separate these worlds to foster a unique synergy of innovation and purpose to save the world (or at least not just eating popcorn and watching it to collapse).
We share a passion for building impact-driven, meaningful digital innovation. Here, at the heart of our community, we're taking that passion to the next step and offering a space and platform where collaboration and creativity flows. Because we believe in the power of community. Indeed, we don't have much choice.
We change together or we die.
The Atlas Underground Community aims to bring together professionals who share our passion for meaningful impact. Our goal is to create an ecosystem where business, public and non-profit sectors come together to drive innovation that makes a real impact in the world.
We have a reputation for our honest, no-bullsh*t approach. We're not afraid to challenge the status quo, ask uncomfortable questions, and deal with the metaphorical 'elephants in the room'. Our business card is a cynicism about shallow solutions and a determination to break through the fluff. We are aiming to build a community that not only talks about change, but acts on it.
Every few months, we focus on a central theme that ties together our content and events. From blog posts to workshops, everything is connected to this theme. This thematic approach allows us to delve deeply into relevant and important topics, spark conversations, and foster collaborative efforts that drive positive change.
Joining Atlas Underground means gaining access to a host of exciting opportunities:
#Co-creations and #Meetups: Connect with like-minded professionals at our monthly community gatherings, where you can exchange ideas, insights, and experiences, regardless of where you're based.
#Workshops: Engage in thought-provoking workshops, led by industry experts, that will challenge your perspectives and inspire fresh approaches, give you new tools and broaden your professional knowledge.
#Collaboration: Collaborate with other members from diverse fields to tackle challenges and embark on innovative projects that bridge the gap between business, public and nonprofit worlds.
#Networking: Build relationships with professionals who share your commitment to creating a positive impact, and unlock opportunities for personal and professional growth. We truly believe that one of our greatest assets is our personal and professional network. Consciously building and dealing with it is not impossible, but in return it is a necessity.
Join us on this journey at Atlas Underground Community. Let's build something where innovation meets purpose, and together, let's make a profound impact on the world.
Being a member of this community is and will be totally free!
Joining the community does not mean any obligation. You get involved in the life of the community as much as you can or want to. You can (re)join on the events and through our online community platform at any time.
We know the drill, busy life, busy schedules. We don't want to force you into anything you're not comfortable with. We are very happy if you can come to as many events and workshops as possible, but if there are times when you would rather observe and only consume our online content, that is also perfectly fine.

| Páciensi tapasztalatok fejlesztése az egészségügyben (HUN) | 2026. január 29. | Az egészségügy helyzete mindannyiunkat érint. A Coretechs és az Atlas, Rise! csapata összeállt, hogy szakmai tudásukat, tapasztalataikat felhasználva és szakemberi körüket bevonva, együtt foglalkozzon az egészségügy egyik legfontosabb témájával: a páciensi út élményeinek, tapasztalatainak feldolgozásával, azzal a céllal, hogy közösen határozzunk meg megoldást segítő beavatkozási pontokat. |
Ez egy meghívó, hogy csatlakozz hozzánk, gondolkozz, ötletelj velünk együtt! | Opening soon | | Fluid by design hackathon (EN) | TBA | **What if gender wasn’t the first thing systems asked about?What if it wasn’t asked at all?
The topic:**Fast-forward a few decades: gender is no longer fixed. It’s flexible, fluid, personal—and maybe even daily changeable.But our digital spaces? Still stuck in a binary past. That’s where you come in.Join us for Fluid by Design: a speculative design hackathon where we rethink and reimagine digital products, services, and systems to be radically inclusive. Not tomorrow. Now. | Opening soon | | Designing End-of-Life Experiences | TBA | What if the end of life felt less like a system to navigate and more like a human experience to be supported?
This session explores how design can bring dignity, clarity, and compassion to life’s final chapter. We look at how services, spaces, and rituals might evolve when we approach end-of-life moments with empathy and intention. A conversation about humanity, not morbidity. | Opening soon | | Reimagining the Experience of Spirituality | TBA | Spirituality today is increasingly personal, diverse, and fluid. This session examines how design can help reinterpret sacredness for modern life—through new forms of ritual, connection, and meaning-making. We explore how experiences, spaces, and practices can evolve to reflect the ways people seek purpose and transcendence in a changing world. | Opening soon |

CHANGE OR DIE TRYING
We build impact-centric, meaningful digital innovation from concept inception to market entry and beyond.
Our team consists of digital product designers, business designers, service designers, with some additional experience in traditional (and less traditional) business strategy and product management.
Atlas, Rise! experts work with high autonomy in their own fields (as they are mostly very experienced individuals), with independent professional views, partnering up with each other on specific projects. A bit like a law office, except we can’t really give you legal advice.
We have a tendency to be a bit cynical about bullshit. We ask uncomfortable questions, discuss elephants in rooms.
