Adapting to evolving market trends and staying competitive in the digital era is no longer a choice but a necessity for social enterprises in the circular economy. 💚 In the past 10 months, we've gathered pioneering social enterprises that are incorporating digital training into their workforce and collaborating on secondhand e-commerce platforms operated by social enterprises, among other initiatives. 💡 Join us on September 12th in Brussels to learn and explore how we can collectively accelerate the digital transformation of social circular enterprises. 📣 https://lnkd.in/dj5VKX_J

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, developing digital tools offers numerous advantages to social enterprises. One key benefit is the ability to collect valuable data. 📊 Our project partner, Branchevereniging Kringloop Nederland, has been at the forefront of leveraging digitalisation to monitor and collect data on its members' impact on the circular economy, social inclusion, and finance for over a decade. 📥 By gathering information via a harmonised and unique monitoring system on reuse activities, they have streamlined the process and built robust databases, allowing them to gain more insights. This valuable knowledge has empowered the network to effectively showcase the significance of circular social enterprises in the Netherlands to stakeholders at both local and national levels. Are you interested in learning how digitalisation can harness social enterprises' potential?

Connecting the Dots - Buy Social. Together with The Shift vzw/asbl, we (Sociale InnovatieFabriek) gathered 30 different stakeholders representing social enterprises, governments and corporates. During the entire day these great people reflected together on how corporates and governments can ‘buy social’ in the sense of having social enterprises as their suppliers. We kicked off the day with a very inspiring testimonial from Timo Worrall about how Johnson & Johnson actually chooses for supplier diversity. After this kick off the attendees discussed several challenges such as how to find each other, how about legislation, how to make buying social more interesting f.i. by tax advantages,… This day for sure was an interesting take off of a longer trajectory that we wish to run with great partners as The Shift vzw/asbl and BE.IMPACT  Want to know more?
