Closing the gap between social enterprises and EU decision-makers

Euclid Network, in collaboration with its members and partners, launched in 2020 the European Social Enterprise Monitor, an annual or biannual meta study which describes the results of a survey, comprising social enterprise and start-up data at European and country level.

The aim of this project is to close the current gap between social enterprise data and EU decision-makers in government, civil society and the economy.

The European Social Enterprise Monitor will offer elaborate country reports of Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom, and a comparison, which will allow know the social enterprise ecosystem across Europe and, at the same time, find out the opportunities for development of the sector and its impact.

The ESEM announcement takes place at WEF Davos Forum on January and from January to March, the data will be cleaned, and they will elaborate the countries and European reports. In March, Euclid Network will promote the ESEM reports and Insights.
