WHY CEE

Because we work from and for the CEE region. We live here.

Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have made significant progress in economic and social development using their potential that remained deeply hidden for decades. Although it is something to be proud of, the countries of CEE are still facing immense social challenges – national, regional, and global in scope. As part of the global community, CEE is now trying to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, signed by 193 members of the United Nations (UN), including the CEE countries. Cooperation between governments, business, social organizations, and society is essential to make these efforts more effective.

OUR BOARD, TEAM & EXPERTS

Social Impact Alliance for Central & Eastern Europe was created by people who care about the social development of our region. We represent the world of finance, law, communication, IT, business and social sectors. We believe that thanks to our unique combination of knowledge, ambition and experience we will jointly achieve more for the sustainable development of our region.
