In 2019 the Euclid Network initiated, together with a consortium of 20 of our members and partners and an esteemed academic research board, a key project to address the lack of comparable social enterprise data across Europe. This became the first European Social Enterprise Monitor. The resulting European and national Monitor reports from this project shed light on social enterprises and their ecosystems across 8 countries in Europe: Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Based on an extensive survey of social enterprises in these countries, insights are provided into, amongst other things: 1) the organisational structure of social enterprises, 2) their financial health, 3) the kind of impact these social enterprises create, and 4) the barriers they face that impede them to become even more successful.
