The ENACT project aims to drive the transformation of the European food system toward greater sustainability, fostering digital transition and entrepreneurship within the agrifood social economy across Europe. To achieve this, transnational cooperation and enhancing the capacities of various stakeholders are crucial.
The project begins its journey by conducting a country-by-country needs assessment and gaining a transnational perspective on the specific requirements for the digital transition of the agrifood social economy. This analysis will help build a capacity-building environment that promotes innovation, collaboration, and resilience in the sector.
Moving forward, ENACT will deploy a transnational capacity-building program that includes training 30 individuals to empower social economy-enabling organizations, along with virtual and local training sessions for a minimum of 200 participants to sustain this multiplier effect. The project envisions the establishment of innovative ecosystem networks that transcend borders, fostering collective resilience and mutual support among approximately 270 social economy actors.
Encouraging the co-creation of digital innovative solutions, the project will organize innovative events such as a transnational Hackathon and Matchathon while disbursing €220,000 in direct financial support.
The project consortium consists of partners from across Europe—organizations from Austria, Lithuania, Portugal, and Spain. Additionally, stakeholder engagement strategies have been carefully designed to support collaborative project networks and amplify the project’s impact within the agrifood social economy.
