About Social Entrepreneurship Akademie

Under the motto “Education for Societal Change”, the Social Entrepreneurship Akademie (SEA) empowers people to develop and implement innovative solutions that are economically viable, socially impactful, and ecologically sustainable. Emerging as a network organization of Munich universities, SEA builds competencies in social entrepreneurship and social innovation to achieve the greatest possible societal impact through entrepreneurial means. SEA offers students and young professionals the certificate program “Certificate for Transformational Change” (SEA:certificate), the two-day introductory workshop “SEA:start”, the international “Global Entrepreneurship Summer School”, and free online courses (MOOCs). In 2022, we launched the “Social-Startup-Hub Bayern” on behalf of the Free State of Bavaria. As part of this project, we serve as a central point of contact for aspiring founders and social startups throughout Bavaria. We provide free advice to everyone with an idea that addresses a social or ecological problem. Thanks to our extensive network, we can bring our teams together with investors, experts, and support services from all regions of Bavaria and regularly organize events where our community can exchange ideas.
