Financial Plan for Social Impact Entrepreneurs
About this BIP
Three Aurora universities across Europe share a common ambition: to explore how social enterprises can become financially sustainable and how impact investing and venture capital can drive real change. This programme offers hands-on experience at the intersection of finance, innovation and social impact.
Participants will learn how to design a financial plan for social enterprises and gain first-hand insights from venture capital and impact investing experts. The programme includes on-site visits to leading innovation and investment organisations, offering direct exposure to real-world ecosystems. Students will work in international teams and develop key competencies in financial sustainability, funding strategies and business modelling.
The programme covers financial fundamentals for entrepreneurs, the Business Model Canvas applied to social impact, and funding sources such as impact investing, venture capital, and blended finance. Participants will develop a complete economic and financial plan for a social enterprise.By the end of the programme, students will understand how to design the financial strategy of a social enterprise, identify and evaluate funding opportunities in impact ecosystems, and develop a financial plan aligned with social impact objectives. They will also gain exposure to real impact investors and innovation ecosystems.
