Social Enterprise Development
SET has developed the SET Social Impact Platform as a knowledge resource and network for social development through online channels such as websites and Facebook. The public is able to access knowledge on social enterprises and case studies on sustainable social enterprise development, which are designed to inspire and stimulate efforts to transform that knowledge into concrete social impact.
SET Social Impact plays an intermediary role by linking the resources and experiences of business owners with social entrepreneurs in order to exchange knowledge, develop processes for change and multiply positive social outcomes through social enterprises. Since 2016, the SET Social Impact Platform has contributed more than 116 million baht to the economy and has benefitted 94 participating social enterprises. Key operations in 2020 were as follows:
Ability Building: Promoting Social Entrepreneurs’ Capabilities
SET builds the capabilities of social entrepreneurs through three courses:
1) SE101@University, for higher education institution networks, 2) SE102 Tutoring Entrepreneurship Skills for Success, and 3) Impact Gym Project, which focuses on the coaching and mentoring of social entrepreneurs by senior executives in the Market for Alternative Investment (mai) and various experts, who provide knowledge beneficial for real-life application and development.
In 2020, SET Social Impact extended its partnerships to include Thaksin University, Chiang Mai University, and Ashram Arts Institute. As part of this, SET organized the SE101@University course to disseminate fundamental knowledge on social enterprise development to students, entrepreneurs and members of the public who are interested in social entrepreneurship. Additional forms of collaboration involved the Department of Business Development within the Ministry of Commerce, and the organization of an SE102 workshop for social entrepreneurs to apply their knowledge towards effective enterprise expansion and development.
