A reference point for the social economy ecosystem

For one day in Iași, Romania, the entire ecosystem comes together: social entrepreneurs, policy makers, funders, researchers, and supporters. If you work in or for the social economy, this is where you come to see what is next, to contribute to the conversation, and to make sure your voice is part of the future that is being shaped.

Concept of the event

The concept behind Enterprising for Tomorrow is simple: if we want a strong, modern social economy, we need spaces where everyone in the ecosystem can meet, learn, and collaborate.

The event is built around three pillars:

LEARN: High-level panels and practical discussions that bring together European policy, national frameworks, and real stories from social enterprises and support organizations.
CONNECT: Curated networking moments, Buy Social Expo, and dedicated spaces for partnership talks, so that participants can meet future clients, partners, and allies.
CELEBRATE: The Accelerator of Social Enterprises Award Gala, which recognizes the progress of social enterprises from Romania and Moldova and shines a spotlight on their impact.

This combination of learning, connecting, and celebrating is what makes the conference feel like a festival for the social economy.
