Press release: ENSIE announces five organisations selected to strengthen WISE networks across Europe

ENSIE - 21-09-2026

ENSIE is pleased to announce the five organisations selected to receive Financial Support to Third Parties under the Be WISE+ – In Support of an Inclusive Social Europe 2026–2028 project, supporting the development and strengthening of Work Integration Social Enterprise (WISE) networks and ecosystems across Europe.

The support is provided through the Be WISE+ project, which seeks to strengthen the capacity of WISEs and their networks and contribute to a more inclusive Social Europe. By investing directly in organisations operating within emerging or developing WISE ecosystems, the initiative supports stronger cooperation and representation of WISEs across Europe.

Following the call for proposals, five organisations have been selected:

Through this financial support, ENSIE aims to strengthen WISE representation at national and regional levels, foster cooperation among social economy actors, and increase the visibility and recognition of WISEs as key contributors to inclusive labour markets.

The selected initiatives will focus on building and consolidating networks, mobilising relevant stakeholders, and raising awareness of the role of WISEs in creating employment opportunities for people facing barriers to the labour market.

The selected beneficiaries will have the chance to introduce themselves in a dedicated pitch session during ENSIE’s Extraordinary General Assembly on 19 November 2026.

By bringing their national and regional experience into the broader European WISE community, the beneficiaries will ensure that their national perspectives feed into the European debate on social economy, inclusion and employment.
