12 Social and Solidarity Economy Organizations Join the Île-de-France Region and HEC Paris SSE Accelerator
12 social and solidarity economy organizations embark on a 24-month journey with the Accelerator ESS to boost growth and amplify impact.
Introducing the Seventh Cohort of the Accelerator ESS
These twelve organizations now have two years to tackle their growth challenges and expand their impact.
The program launched with a kickoff seminar on November 5-6, 2024, on the HEC Paris campus. The event concluded with a friendly gathering, shared with Cohort 5 as they celebrated the end of their own acceleration journey, which began in 2022.
Driving Excellence in the Social and Solidarity Economy Sector
The Accelerator ESS is a tailor-made program designed to help each organization scale its solutions, based on three core pillars:
- Mentorship and Customized Advisory: From the outset, leaders receive a precise diagnosis of their needs and a tailored roadmap. Supported by HEC experts and committed students, each organization benefits from comprehensive guidance to meet growth challenges.
- Training and Masterclasses: Faculty-led masterclasses cover essential topics such as impact measurement and governance. Collective immersive experiences complement this component,
- Networking and Community: Joining the ESS Accelerator means becoming part of a collective. Peer exchanges foster mutual support and inspiration, creating a true community of SSE leaders.
Through the ESS Accelerator, Île-de-France Region and HEC Paris demonstrate their solid commitment to a fairer, more inclusive economy.
