There is increasing competition to attract capital from investors with an appetite for impact. Traditional asset managers are offering socially responsible investment opportunities, traditional funds are offering impact funds and the first social bonds have been issued. All those financial instruments have a varying degree of impact orientation and pose a challenge for impact-focused social enterprise finance intermediaries. So how to cut through?

In the growing market of impact-driven investments, the need for a differentiated approach becomes more and more important. Every player has to be able to define its particular philosophy and express it to potential clients. Social enterprise intermediaries can develop such branding strategies to compete more successfully.

The content of the workshop will be developed in interactive sessions. At the end of the day participants should have a better understanding of key concepts, implications and branding strategies, acquire a framework to build a relevant and consistent brand identity and tools to develop their own marketing and communication strategy.

The workshop will be held by PJ Mahrenholz. He is a Brand and Communication Strategist and Consultant with more than 25 years of experience in leading creative agencies in Germany and the UK. He worked for various globally known brands such as Volkswagen, Vodafone, NIVEA or MINI.

How to participate?

UPDATE: The maximum number of participants has been reached, therefore this workshop is now closed for applications.

Europese Commissie (EC)

Deze instelling van de Europese Unie kan worden beschouwd als het 'dagelijks bestuur' van de EU. De leden van de Europese Commissie worden 'Eurocommissarissen i' genoemd. Elke Eurocommissaris is verantwoordelijk voor één of meerdere beleidsgebieden. Momenteel zijn er 26 Eurocommissarissen. In principe is er voor iedere lidstaat één. Samen vormen zij het college van Eurocommissarissen. De Eurocommissarissen moeten het belang van de Europese Unie als geheel behartigen, niet dat van hun eigen land.

De Europese Commissie mag als enige EU-instelling wetsvoorstellen indienen; zij heeft het zogenaamde recht van initatief. Daarnaast controleert de Commissie of de Europese wetgeving juist wordt toegepast in de lidstaten, onderhandelt zij in internationale organisaties als de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) i over de handel van de Unie met het 'buitenland' en is zij verantwoordelijk voor het beheer van de Europese begroting van ongeveer 140 miljard euro per jaar.
