Hubs and spaces

Actors in the hubs and spaces domain include:

• Social Enterprises

  A social enterprise is a business that puts people and planet first. They trade like any other business, but exist specifically to make the world a better place. Social enterprises can adopt a range of legal structures, identities, and play multiple roles, across different domains, in the ecosystem.

• Innovation hubs

  Centres that foster creativity, collaboration, and experimentation to develop new social enterprise ideas and solutions.

• Co-working spaces

  Shared facilities that provide affordable workspace and community for social entrepreneurs and enterprises.

• Local Governments

  City or local-level authorities that have a specific influence on community-based social enterprises and localised initiatives.

• Corporations

  Large companies that engage with social enterprises through partnerships, procurement, investment, and corporate social responsibility programs.
