The ESEM is the first social enterprise monitor on the European level, gathering survey data from social entrepreneurs from across Europe. 2,000 socially and environmentally minded entrepreneurs shared their experiences regarding social entrepreneurship in their respective countries. The ESEM Report provides key insights into national social enterprise ecosystems and into the wider European ecosystems, enabling better understanding of the needs and interests of enterprises in the social and solidarity economy. ESEM closes the gap in social enterprise data and enables evidence-based policy making and creation of tailored support programmes.
