Next edition on May 16, 2024 in Solothurn
The #SSEF inspires, connects, and opens up space for exchange. For a positive social impact.
Clear the stage for the social economy
The #SSEF creates a national stage for topics around impact-oriented management and for its actors from practice, science, politics, and civil society.
Donut economics, business for good, purpose ventures, sustainable and regenerative, impact-driven, and social entrepreneurship; the economy of tomorrow has many names, but one thing in common: the focus on positive impact and the connecting credo "impact first".
To this end, the social economy hosts many initiatives, organizations and companies with similar goals and common challenges. This community needs a place for exchange and networking. A place to learn and develop.
Be there when the Swiss changemakers meet at #SSEF24. Here we network and get inspired, find like-minded people and work out solutions and answers to pressing questions.
Program
The SSEF brings the social economy to life in its many facets in a practical way on the main stage, in workshops, panel discussions and various interactive formats.
Success stories, food for thought, and inter-sectoral networking. This is what the Swiss Social Economy Forum offers. With a focus on funding, financing and various spotlights, inspiring solutions to pressing social challenges will be discussed, developed and presented.

Review #SSEF23
On 25.05.2023, the social economy gathered again at the #SSEF - this year in Bern.
The diversity of participants reflected the breadth of the social economy and its diverse stakeholders. Thematically, the forum could be divided into four focal points: Education, Communication, Funding and Policy. For this purpose, panels, input sessions and two workshops were held.
Tickets
Whether a seasoned manager or a young student, many have recognized that something needs to change in the way we shape and define business. Depending on the values we choose and the goals we pursue.
Fair prices are as much a part of the social economy as healthy soil is to the annual harvest. That's why we are offering four ticket categories this year, so that we can offer a transparent option for every situation and every budget.
Categories
Supporter / Corporate
With this category you enable, among others, the following reduced categories
Example: With a supporter ticket you enable the sale of two tickets of the category "Reduced".
Standard
Corresponds to the cost-effective price.
Target group: All those who can afford this amount are in good hands in this category.
Reduced
Partially subsidized ticket, which covers a larger part of the cost. Target group: E.g. profitable start-ups, the self-employed and small business owners.
Students (number very limited, show student ID on site)
You are in education and have to pinch pennies? This category is for you.
* All ticket categories equally allow for the visit of the full-day event with all program points (incl. lunch, coffee, and aperitif).
Location
We invite you to #SSEF24 at the Landhaus in Solothurn. Only a few minutes from the train station.
