PROGRESS UPDATE: HELLO NORDICS

At Hello Nordics, the social entrepreneurs are currently in the process of implementing the scaling plans they set in January. These plans consisted of an explanation of the model they are scaling, a description of the larger problem addressed through their solution, identified collaboration opportunities, as well as the objectives behind the scaling process.

For example, Lisa Cooper, founder of Catalysts, a Hello Nordics participant from Norway, has secured funding to arrange a Nordic Mentoring Summit together with two other Hello Nordics participants (Mitt Liv/Sweden and Startup Refugees/Finland). Lisa also conducted meetings with FASE and The Good Lobby, who are Hello Europe partners supporting social entrepreneurs in the Nordics.

"According to a recent survey conducted of the accelerator programme, 79% of the social entrepreneurs expressed that they had gained insights on systems’ change during Hello Nordics, and that they would aim to steer their work accordingly."

The Hello Nordics Team would like to invite all entrepreneurs to join Ashoka Nordic’s upcoming community day in September. Stay tuned for more details!
