Summary

With a specific focus on the Social Investment and Skills windows, the paper highlights how these barriers hinder the potential of InvestEU to strengthen the social economy ecosystem. Given the estimated funding gaps of EUR 1 billion in social economy finance and EUR 12.9 billion in microfinance across the EU, the paper underscores the need for more effective access to resources to sustain and grow social economy organisations.
