CRAFT Project

The Social Innovation Ecosystem Strengthening project (CRAFT) is designed to promote social entrepreneurship and amplify the impact of social and impact-driven initiatives throughout Europe. Our approach involves organizing events, summits, and creating a digital ecosystem to foster stronger connections and collaboration among social innovation actors. By establishing a European peer-to-peer academy and collecting best practices and tools, we aim to empower social entrepreneurs and support organizations, ultimately leading to sustainable change within the European social innovation ecosystem. The significance of strengthening the social innovation ecosystem cannot be overstated. A robust ecosystem is essential for addressing societal challenges, promoting inclusive economic growth, and driving positive social change. By forging connections between social entrepreneurs, SMEs, accelerators, investors, industry, philanthropy societies, universities, and public entities, we can unlock the full potential of social innovation. Our project recognizes the need to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and access to resources in order to create a thriving ecosystem that nurtures innovative solutions to complex problems.
