Impact For International Organisations
For international organisations, ESEM insights can provide a regional overview of the European social enterprise ecosystem, which can contribute to international comparisons and mutual learning across contexts.
To strengthen and expand the social economy, and therefore its potential to contribute to solving complex global challenges, high-level strategies and collaboration are imperative. The ESEM can help to facilitate this endeavour by elucidating the importance of social enterprise ecosystems and enhancing the visibility of social enterprises and the vital impact they create.
