The European Social Innovation Competition’s Impact Report – Insights from the Alumni Census 2021

The European Social Innovation Competition’s Impact Report (2013-2020) – Insights from the Alumni Census 2021,  is now available for download. Targeted at European and global social innovators, social entrepreneurs, social finance providers, policy-makers, and the general public, the Report shows how the social innovators that participated in the Competition have benefitted from their experience, and measures the impact that the Competition has had on its alumni over the years.

The European Social Innovation Competition has three key impact objectives: innovation – to stimulate innovative solutions that address societal problems; capacity – to support early-stage social innovators in building viable and scalable social enterprises; and ecosystem – to unlock systemic change and equalise the social innovation playing field across Europe.

The Report, compiled based on data from a 2021 census conducted among alumni, reveals that the Competition has brought about positive change in all three areas throughout the past decade.
