Business for good

As the traditional business sector is increasingly working to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, social entrepreneurship as an approach is growing, in Sweden and globally. At SE Forum, we see the importance in taking action across sectors and we very much believe in collaboration and partnerships. We’re therefore working to encourage collaborations between social enterprises and the traditional business sector, to create greater social impact and sustainable growth.

We do this through our programmes and by speaking at events, but we’re also currently running a project funded by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket) to increase our efforts. The project aims to explore and establish what’s needed to connect various players, to help them take the necessary steps, together, towards successful partnerships that achieve both social and financial value.

Following research, interviews and conversations, SE Forum has published a publication highlighting the opportunities and challenges that exist. You can read the full report here. For any questions, please email Tove Nordström at tove.nordstrom@se-forum.se
