Social Business Incubator

Since 2009, the Luxembourg government has had a ministerial department specifically dedicated to the social and solidarity economy. Its primary mission is to promote the social and solidarity economy, its stakeholders, social entrepreneurship and, more specifically, societal impact companies (SIS) in Luxembourg and Europe.

Created in July 2013, ULESS aims to defend and promote the collective interests of the social and solidarity economy. ULESS’s mission is to organise, represent, promote, and defend companies in the social and solidarity economy.

A-Prendre SARL-S SIS was set up and approved as a societal impact company in 2020. Its mission is to help people who are disadvantaged by their economic, social, and personal situation, including asylum seekers or beneficiaries of international protection, to learn to read and write French.

Sensbox was set up and accredited as a societal impact company in 2022 and offers consultancy in the field of sustainable development.

Accredited as a SIS in 2021, Indoor Forest brings nature back into buildings, thereby eliminating 50% of dust, fine particles, and other pollution: it’s effective everywhere and for everyone. It’s a natural solution to two major issues which our society faces: improving air quality, which is a notorious public health problem and has a significant impact on life expectancy, quality of life, and social costs; and environmental protection, as it’s a circular service.

Granted SIS status in 2020, our aim is to support the professional and societal integration of young people who have left school or who have no specific occupation, and who are in precarious or financially vulnerable situations, by teaching them a wide range of professional skills. We want to revitalise the craft sector, strengthen social and cultural connections, and promote an active, united, and creative way of life.

Survcoin was accredited as a SIS in 2022, and aims to stimulate and accelerate our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint by quantifying and rewarding these efforts in survcoins, a digital currency, helping users understand their carbon footprints while adding a fun element to the process.

Ecofluent aims to promote responsible production and consumption by encouraging the reduction and reuse of products and packaging. We are developing strategies for active waste prevention. Spaces are an important element in setting up a coherent zero-waste system. Thanks to our experience in spatial planning, our solutions simplify operations. Our services also include education on zero waste, responsible production and consumption, and the circular economy.

As a societal impact company, Voix Solidaires SARL-S’s mission is to see and identify the “blind spots” in our society and to address them through concrete projects, measures, and services, so that together we can build a more inclusive society. As we go from one crisis to the next (health, energy, inflation, war) the number of people without access to all sources of information, support systems, and tools, and the number of people of limited means is only growing. More generally, we also provide information on initiatives by associations and companies working to promote ethical and responsible consumption.

kroW SARL-S SIS is a company that works to improve the working relationship between employers and employees in the private, public, and institutional sectors and to support jobseekers. We work in several areas: return to employment (jobseekers, those returning after a long absence, illness, maternity leave, etc.), professional integration, skills assessment, talent mapping, redundancy plans, management of work-related psychosocial problems (burn-out, bore-out, etc.).

Granted societal impact company status in 2023, Dalza enables parents, therapists, and teachers to manage the day-to-day responsibilities of supporting children with learning difficulties.

It facilitates connections, exchanges, planning, monitoring, and collaboration at every stage of assessment, diagnosis, support, treatment, and education. All in one place.
