DIGI SEII: Empowering Social Enterprises Through Digitalization

About the project

With the DIGI SEII project, we are equipping social enterprises and their support organizations with the digital tools and skills they need to scale up and amplify their impact. Digi what?! DIGI SEII stands for Digital Scaling for Social Enterprises: Empowering Impact and Innovation. In the article below, you’ll find more details about the objectives, our role, and the collaborations driving this initiative. The project kicked off in September 2024 and will run for three years.

Why DIGI SEII?

Digitalization is revolutionising how businesses operate, innovate, and grow. For social enterprises, digital tools are a key lever for scaling operations, improving resilience, and accessing new opportunities. However, many social enterprises (SEs) and their support organisations (SESOs) face barriers such as a lack of digital skills, knowledge, and infrastructure. The DIGI SEII project is designed to address these challenges and enable SEs to thrive in the digital age.

Our role

ScaleChanger plays a key role in the DIGI SEII project. As a member of the European consortium, we will be contributing to the development of the curriculum and teaching modules for social entrepreneurship support structures.

SacleChanger will thus help SESOs better understand their digital transformation to fuel their own growth, as well as that of the organizations they support (social entrepreneurs). ScaleChanger will contribute to the production of a guide for training SESOs and will then implement training courses for SESOs in Europe.

Our Target Reach and KPIs

The DIGI SEII project is ambitious in its scope. Over the course of the project, we aim to:

  • Deliver 45 local, national, or regional capacity-building activities.
  • Train 260 individuals from social enterprises and SESOs.
  • Provide direct financial support to 260 social entreprises.
  • Facilitate 144 coaching, mentoring, and advisory sessions for both SEs and SESOs.
  • Organise 12 transnational training activities during the project.
  • Engage 50 social enterprises in a hackathon designed to foster digital innovation.

In addition to these quantitative targets, we aim to achieve a 20% increase in participants’ understanding of key training topics and expect to see a 3% annual increase in the number of social enterprises reporting investment in digital tools to scale their operations .
