Impact of the European Commission\u2019s Social Business Initiative In 2011, the European Commission launched the Social Business Initiative<\/strong>\u00a0(SBI), which established a set of concrete measures to create a favourable environment for the development of social enterprises. The study \u201cImpact of the Social Business Initiative and its follow-up measures\u201d, carried out by\u00a0Spatial Foresight<\/strong>\u00a0with Euricse<\/strong> and the\u00a0European Center for Social Finance<\/strong>\u00a0on behalf of the\u00a0European Commission, analyses the impact of the SBI on the development of social enterprises and other social economy organizations and their operating environments at national and EU levels.<\/p>\n

The study report also includes an analysis of current needs and a set of options for future policy initiatives. The research was supported by numerous national experts who carried out additional research and interviewed around\u00a0300 stakeholders\u00a0amongst national, regional and local authorities, academic and experts, social entrepreneurs and representatives of stakeholders\u2019 organizations in\u00a028 EU Member States and\u00a09 neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

\n

The study serves as a solid foundation for the upcoming European Action Plan for the Social Economy, which will shape the future of this sector in Europe. The findings highlight that the Social Business Initiative (SBI) has successfully promoted the concept of social enterprises across EU Member States, increasing their visibility and importance in various policy areas, including regional development and environmental issues.<\/p>\n

However, the study also points out that a lack of clear objectives and communication has hindered the SBI’s coherence with other European programs. It emphasizes the need for improved communication and clarity in future initiatives. Additionally, the growing complexity of the social enterprise ecosystem requires tailored solutions within any future EU policy framework. Recognizing the role of social economy organizations in addressing societal challenges is crucial, and future policies should strengthen links between the social economy and other policy areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
