Territorial Partnerships for the Social Economy in the Context of Social Innovation

Name of the organisation:

Social Economy Berlin – a support structure  for the Social Economy managed by Social Entrepreneurship Network Germany and Technologie-Netzwerk Berlin, in cooperation with the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises

Social Economy Berlin is a platform for the Social Economy in Berlin providing support and advice for Social Economy entities and local authorities.

Description of the workshop:

In Summer 2020, the new regional project ‘Social Economy Berlin’ started in order to develop a common ecosystem for Social Entrepreneurs and the Social and Solidarity Economy in Berlin. Social Economy Berlin (SEB) is a project executed by Social Entrepreneurship Netzwerk Berlin (SEND) and Technologie-Netzwerk Berlin e.V. (TechNet).
In our workshop we want to share our good practice examples around building a support structure for founders or working with relevant institutions and local authorities as an intermediary between our Social Economy Community and the public sector, such as the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, the regional business development bank (IBB) or the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Berlin (IHK).

8,500 enterprises in Berlin are working alongside the criterions of the Social Economy
