Open Mind Society

Open Mind Society is a non-governmental organization established in 2009. Our mission is to empower local communities by creating a network of Social enterprises. Social enterprises are best described as social purpose not-for-profit or business ventures such as educational institutions, nursing homes, renewable energy plants, community development banks, local-credit market institutions, etc., which have the ability to increase local communities’ money-flow and provide sustainable local economic growth. The most distinctive feature of a social enterprise is the ownership criteria, i.e. local municipalities, NGOs and private investors are the “main shareholders”. Another distinctive feature of a social enterprise is the way an organization conducts its business activities, i.e. be socially responsible in the way they treat local communities and the environment.
