SocialTech4EU’s Acceleration Open Call presents a €37,000 funding opportunity for 10 European social enterprises (selected in the second Open Call of the project). This initiative is set to benefit both social enterprises seeking to innovate and social economy support providers ready to support their growth and transformation.

SocialTech4EU is offering financial support to selected social enterprises in Europe through the Acceleration Open Call. Eligible applicants can request up to €37,000 in funding to carry out innovation projects in collaboration with external providers.

This call aims to strengthen the resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability of social enterprises, enabling them to embrace digital and green transitions.

The objectives of the call include the development or customization of digital and tech solutions to support greener and more digital operations for the funded social enterprises. This encompasses services, products, and processes.

The innovation project can include the implementation of digital and green solutions, training, advisory, mentoring programs, and access to financing, all delivered by external providers.

To be eligible, applicants must have been selected under the SocialTech4EU Call for Social Enterprises in Europe – Financial Support for Innovation.
