ScaleChanger has been created following the observation that while many social and environmental solutions with compelling impact are emerging around the world, only a few manage to grow at a much larger scale to tackle significantly the problem that they are addressing when the scale of the problem is often national and/or international. Since its inception, ScaleChangers team has been working to support these social enterprises in their scaling up journey internationally. It’s a topic that is not yet well documented whilst it is a key way for organisations to scale their impact, so that their solution can reach a greater number of people. We will curate stories from social entrepreneurs highlighting the challenges, good practices and risks of scaling social innovations at the international level, from a strategic, organisational and financial point of view, while funders and local policy makers will testify to the support they can give them and the way they have built SSE ecosystems.
