The Forum was organized in the framework of the SAFIR regional project, financed by the EU (EUR 6 million), in order to gather the community of young social entrepreneurs. Organized with the support of the IMPACT Lab, this encounter was a unique experience to meet the actors of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of the MENA region. Around 200 participants attended the event, made of panels and pitchs by young entrepreneurs. DG NEAR B2 opened the event and participated in a panel on ‘economic development and social economy potential’ in the South Neighbourhood region.
