Co-Créateurs asbl
The association aims to bring together Positive Impact Entrepreneurs to face the challenge of entrepreneurship alone, to help each other and to co-create.
Initiative phase: Waiting for funding/approval
The non-profit organisation Co-Créateurs supports and connects entrepreneurs with positive-impact projects that respond to today's ecological, climate and social emergencies. We strive to create synergies between projects and partners to give projects a better chance of success and overcome the obstacles of loneliness, demotivation, loss of confidence, etc. . It's essential to join forces to help each other, co-create and innovate. Our raison d'être is the collective, the network, the desire to move forward and change things together.
The different profiles of our entrepreneurs touch on all sectors of society and provide concrete solutions for: improving community life; promoting the circular economy; creating innovative systems; promoting soft mobility; encouraging the ecological transition; promoting alternative medicine; preserving the planet and life itself; producing sustainable food.
The passion that drives them demonstrates their determination to want to be the change they wish to see in the world.
Our objectives:
1 - Collective support: offer support through peer-to-peer learning to develop a sense of collaboration and solidarity between projects. We encourage support and mutual assistance, and above all we guide projects so that they can achieve a certain level of viability, and ensure that they provide concrete solutions to the social, ecological and economic challenges facing our society.
2 - Co-organising: co-organising is the watchword when planning our events. Being partners means joining forces to achieve a common goal, so that we can carry out the tasks together, and thus reinforce the feeling of efficiency, sharing and solidarity, while giving the event a different scope. More partners, more visibility, more public, and therefore more impact.
3 - Promote intensely: highlighting projects that contribute to positive change in our society means announcing to the general public that things are underway, and that a handful of people are working to bring about alternatives. This paradigm shift needs to be publicised and disseminated on a large scale. Giving visibility to projects also means enabling entrepreneurs to reach a wider audience, to be seen and recognised.
4 - Raising global awareness: making people aware that the intrinsic calling that lies dormant within them and the quest for meaning are intimately linked to the individual's need for recognition within society. But also with the desire to leave a trace of their passage on earth. Entrepreneurship is one of the essential keys to contributing to the emergence of a more sustainable and fairer society. Everyone can make a difference and everyone should try.

Objectives
OUR GOALS
1. Collective support
Offer support through peer-to-peer learning to develop a sense of collaboration and solidarity between projects. Encourage and build on the collective dynamic in the development of positive-impact projects. Projects that provide concrete solutions to the social, ecological and economic challenges facing our society.
2. co-organising
Co-organising is the watchword when planning our events. Being partners means joining forces to achieve a common goal, so that we can carry out the tasks together, thereby strengthening the feeling of efficiency, sharing and solidarity, while giving the event a new dimension. More partners, more visibility, more public, and therefore more impact.
3. Promote intensely
Highlighting projects that contribute to positive change in our society means announcing to the general public that things are underway, and that a handful of people are working to bring about alternatives. This paradigm shift needs to be widely publicised and disseminated. Giving visibility to projects also means enabling entrepreneurs to reach a wider audience, to be seen and recognised.
4. raise global awareness
Make people aware that the intrinsic calling that lies dormant within them and the quest for meaning are intimately linked to the individual's need for recognition within society. But also with the desire to leave a trace of their passage on earth. Entrepreneurship is one of the essential keys to contributing to the emergence of a more sustainable and fairer society. Everyone can make a difference and everyone should try.
Impact
Entrepreneurs feel less alone and gain confidence in themselves and their project because they feel supported by their peers. A feeling of belonging to a group that shares the same values in which they believe. The entrepreneur feels more legitimate in carrying out a project that contributes to the societal change our planet urgently needs. The benefits of success and the benefits provided by the projects will have a direct impact not only on the entrepreneur, but also on those around him and on society in general, because the projects provide concrete solutions and contribute to a more sustainable, collaborative and resilient society.
Target audience
- Positive impact entrepreneurs ;
- People in the process of becoming entrepreneurs (career transition);
- Anyone with a project idea that contributes to social change.
