Digitalisation is on the rise, offering a crucial opportunity to enhance efficiency and visibility. The majority of organisations, companies and public institutions are embracing digital tools, and social enterprises are no different. 

Despite challenges linked to the need for extra funding and upskilling their workforce, many social enterprises are already using digital tools to bolster their circular economy and social inclusion activities. How can we overcome these obstacles? 

RREUSE, Europe’s largest network of social enterprises active in reuse, repair and recycling, is organising a conference to mark the end of the DigiSocCirc project.

The DigiSocCirc project aims to support, optimise and accelerate the role played by social circular enterprises in the digital era. The consortium is made up of 10 individual or national networks of social enterprise partners, all members of the RREUSE network. 

At this final conference, the DigiSocCirc consortium will share the project’s key findings and facilitate panel discussions with representatives from social enterprises, businesses and policymakers. These discussions will showcase project partners’ good practices and initiatives in digitalising social enterprises, such as the implementation of logistics and management tools, digital skills training for workers from vulnerable groups, and the development of second-hand e-commerce platforms. They will outline successful strategies and challenges in accelerating the transition towards digitalising social enterprise activities as a whole. 

The conference will take place on 12 September at 09:00-12:30 CEST. Registration.
