Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Danube

Date of latest update: 2023-11-06

Description

Description (EN):

Social enterprises (SEs) are an important drivers for inclusive growth and play key role in tackling current economic, environmental and societal challenges. Recent years have seen a burgeoning interest in social enterprises across Europe, however, Still, relatively little is known about the scale and sectoral allocation of the emerging social enterprise ‘sector’. However, examples of missing policy and legal frameworks, social investment markets and social entrepreneurship education are very common. As a result, trends in SENSES countries show divers picture of low viability of business models of existing social enterprises, nascent social investors and investment markets, mainly probono and donation-based SE acceleration programmes and fragile relationships between SEs and market actors. Motivated by the above challenge, the SENSES project aims to create a transnational network of social enterprises (SEs), socially responsible traditional businesses, (social) financial investors, policy-makers, academia, NGO practitioners which will jointly promote an innovative social enterprise model as well as social innovation for the sustainable economic development of the Danube region. Therefore, SENSES will deliver cutting-edge policy designs (Social Enterprise Strategy for the Danube region) that support policymakers in faciliating the social enterprise sector to grow. Results will jointly contribute to develop self-sustaining social enterprises with commercially viable business model that focuses directly on propagating effective solutions at grassroot level.

Expected Results (EN): Intensity of cooperation of key actors in the programme area in order to increase competences for business and social innovation (survey based composite indicator)

Expected Outputs (EN):

SENSES contributes to the programme result indicator 1.2 ’Intensity of cooperation to increase competencies for business and social innovation’ through promoting knowledge exchange and cooperations between social enterprises, socially responsible traditional businesses, (social) impact investors, NGOs, academia and policymakers. Motivated by the above challenge, SENSES aims to create a transnational network of social enterprises and their ecosystems composed by 600-800 members in total in the Danube region. Starting with launching an Opening Conference open to all, SENSES partners will promote closer cooperation and mutual learning between policymakers and stakeholders in the frame of 3 interregional policy dialogues as well as 3 study visits and seminars co-organized. The virtual network of interested parties will then be invited into the Closing Conference where the Social Enterprise Strategy for the Danube region will be formally accepted and ratified by all partner countries' and invited policymakers. Besides placing emphasize on networking, the cooperation culture will also be strengthened by SENSES through organizing pilot cooperations between social enterprises and traditional businesses and improving social entrepreneurial skills further via e-learning trainings.
