The Social Economy Cluster will organise at least eight events in various formats in 2024 in order to network local social economy stakeholders with each other and with international partners. Networking leads to better problem-solving skills and to innovation. It also raises public awareness of social entrepreneurship. At least 500 people physically take part in all events. In 2024 Mannheim will also host the Social Impact Summit with up to 200 social entrepreneurs from 18 countries.
