Scope:
One of the traditional functions of clusters is to help to promote start-ups and accelerators.

In that sense, business cooperation is undeniably important for Social Economy, within sectors, cross-sectoral, across borders and also with traditional enterprises. Therefore, clusters could be considered as a way to promote integrative cooperation between different enterprise models.
The "Social Economy Clusters Mission" will bring together a county accompanied by social economy stakeholders experienced in the field on one side and those counties accompanied by social economy stakeholders interested in the topic. The Mission will enable presentation and interrogation of the success story in more details, to identify challenges and to understand existing practices and challenges in other partner counties. It will provide a platform for exchange of views on more developed future collaboration in the field.
