On Thursday 3 December 2015, the European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute and the European Commission will be holding the Social Innovation Investor's Fair.
Twelve projects have been chosen from the Social Innovation Tournament and the Social Innovation Competition which showcase European social impact projects. The former is a flagship initiative of the EIB Institute's Social Programme and financially rewards projects which aim to fight unemployment, marginalisation of disadvantaged communities or promote access to education in a wide range of fields. The Social Innovation Competition invited Europeans to develop game-changing ideas which could advance Europe's growth model by challenging current assumptions and conceiving of new solutions.
The selected projects are now seeking investment in order to reach their targets. The event will be moderated by Hedda Pahlson-Moller of OMSINT/Tiime and an experienced social investor or venture philanthropist will present a 'counter-pitch' to entrepreneurs.
The Investor's Fair will be taking place as part of the 2-day conference on 'Boosting Social Enterprises in Europe' from 3 to 4 December 2015. The conference is organised by the Luxembourg Ministy of Labour, Employment and the Social and Solidarity Economy and aims to examine how social innovaton is created and can be systematically integrated into the creation of economic activities.
