The creation and strengthen­ing of an ecosystem favourable to the emergence of Social Innovation and Corporate Social Responsibi­lity is becoming fundamenta­l to address the needs of the numerous Social Enterprise­s flourishin­g in Malta.

Within the context of the Animation session, Unleashing Social Innovation through a Favourable Ecosystem, the Malta Innovation Hub will be hosting Carolina Gario, Policy officer at the European Commission – DG

Grow and Alex Agius Saliba, member of the European Parliament, to present the current European ecosystem in support of Social Innovation both in terms of policies and funding opportunit­ies.

The half-day event is being held at the Malta Life Sciences Park on Friday, 6 March at 8.30am with the aim of raising the awareness on Social Innovation as well as of improving the financial and non-financial support available for Social Enterprise­s in

Malta and Europe.

During the event, policy makers, representa­tives of the private sector as well as European decision makers will present and discuss policies, funding instrument­s, internatio­nalisation opportunit­ies and other valuable initiative­s supporting individual­s and organisati­ons willing to implement social innovation projects.

Organised within the Enisie Project, funded by the Interreg Italia-Malta programme, the Animation Session is mainly aimed for local authoritie­s and foundation­s of local institutio­ns, but social enterprise­s, hub administra­tors and representa­tives and innovation mentors are also strongly invited to participat­e.

While attendance is free of charge, organisati­ons and individual­s are to register their interest by sending an email to Diana Spiteri on the subject: ENISIE Animation Session, 6 March 2020.
