The project is a collaboration between Social Entrepreneurship Netzwerk Berlin (SEND) and Technologie-Netzwerk Berlin e.V.

The goal of Social Economy Berlin is to connect social enterprises in Berlin, fostering a cohesive ecosystem that promotes social entrepreneurship and the social and solidary economy in the region. This initiative aligns with the broader context of Germany's social economy, which encompasses various entities with different legal forms, including associations, foundations, cooperatives, and limited liability companies with a public-benefit status. These organisations are active in a wide range of activities, such as welfare services, inclusive enterprises, and social enterprises.
