CRAFT Better Entrepreneurship Policy Group

Enabling social entrepreneurship policy is crucial for fostering sustainable development and addressing societal challenges. By implementing policies that encourage and facilitate the growth of social enterprises, governments can drive innovation that not only generates economic value but also prioritizes social impact.

The Better Entrepreneurship Policy Tool is an online tool offered by the European Commission and the OECD, designed for policy-makers and other interested parties at local, regional and national level who wish to explore how public policy can support inclusive and social entrepreneurship.

We have created the CRAFT Better Entrepreneurship Policy Group to carry out a group assessment of social entrepreneurship across Europe. You can become a member of this group. As a group member, you will have access to a self-assessment covering 7 action areas, namely Culture, Institutions, Regulations, Finance, Markets, Skills, and Impact.

By participating, you will be able to assess the social entrepreneurship ecosystem in your city, region or country against a collection of good practices. The Tool is designed to provoke thought, and there is no wrong answer!

As a result, you get a radar chart highlighting your strengths and areas for improvement to consider.

The results of the CRAFT Better Entrepreneurship Policy Group will be aggregated in order to inform policy recommendations to EU institutions for improving support to social entrepreneurship and social innovation.
