The European Commission has launched a call for proposals under the Single Market Programme to support social economy enterprises. This initiative focuses on enhancing the organizational and entrepreneurial capacities of SMEs in the social economy and fostering partnerships for circular value chains. It includes two main topics:

  1. Stepping up organisational and entrepreneurial capacity of SMEs in social economy: This topic focuses on improving the quality of management and organizational excellence of SMEs in various sectors such as recycling, social services, retail, tourism, agri-food, health and care services, and manufacturing. It involves designing and implementing capacity building, training, coaching, and advisory services.
  2. Partnerships for circular value chains between mainstream businesses and SMEs in social economy: This topic aims to increase the contribution of SMEs in the social economy to the development of circular economy value chains.

With a total budget of EUR 8 million, this call seeks to promote sustainable business practices and socio-economic development. The deadline for submissions is December 10, 2024.
