"Social & Business Co-Creation: collaboration for impact"

A new European on-line competition designed to source, highlight and catalyze innovative cross-sector collaboration between the social, business and public sectors across Europe is supported by Global Sustain.

All social-mission organisations (e.g., NGOs, associations, foundations, social enterprises, etc.), businesses and public institutions who work together to create change in Europe can apply. This competition is looking for projects that illustrate new forms of interaction between the social, business and public sectors, with the aim of creating both social and economic value at scale.

Global Sustain, maintaining the largest corporate and NGO member bases, whose activities / initiatives / campaigns promotes and communicates through its innovative on-line and off-line services, has accepted with great pleasure to support the competition, aiming to enhance its promotion in an extended network of stakeholders. With continuous uploads on its portal (www.globlasustain.org), on-line banners, references at the fortnightly e-newsletter and e-mail shots to its large database, Global Sustain will try to raise awareness about the competition and motivate its stakeholders for collaboration.
