Better Entrepreneurship Policy Tool (BEPT)
Assess the quality of your social entrepreneurship framework conditions with the Better Entrepreneurship Policy Tool (BEPT)
This online tool, developed by the European Commission and the OECD, allows policy makers and other stakeholders to assess the current state of their social economy framework. The assessment can be done alone or in a group.
In addition to the social economy questionnaire, the website also offers assessments on inclusive entrepreneurship (for various groups).

European Social Enterprise Monitor by Euclid Network
Launched in 2020, the European Social Enterprise Monitor (ESEM) is the first and most comprehensive social enterprise monitor conducted on the European level. The project seeks to close the current gap on social enterprise data and inform decision-makers in government, civil society and the economy, with the aim of communicating, supporting and promoting the needs and interests of enterprises in the social and solidarity economy across Europe. Based on social enterprise data analysed both in national reports and a comparative European report, the project generates profound insights on the social enterprise ecosystem in Europe and highlights opportunities for further development of the sector and its impact.
