We bring together municipalities and social entrepreneurs to co-create solutions for stronger, more inclusive communities.
About the concept
Change happens when we Join Forces
Every community faces challenges too complex to solve alone. Municipalities carry the responsibility to deliver real results with limited resources, while social entrepreneurs bring bold ideas and deep local insight.
Joining Forces brings these two groups together – not just in partnership, but in shared purpose. By bridging the gap between policy and possibility, we help turn local knowledge into systemic change and shared ambition into measurable impact.
Because when we join forces, change doesn’t just happen – it lasts.
The Joining Forces ecosystem
How does it work?
Every collaboration is unique. We tailor each partnership based on the local context, needs, and conditions – because no two municipalities are the same. By adapting to the realities on the ground, we create solutions that are relevant, sustainable, and impactful.
This step-by-step model outlines the general process we use as a starting point – always flexible, always adapted.
Let’s turn your goals into action
We help municipalities collaborate with social entrepreneurs to achieve better results – faster and with less friction.
