Being part of EMN has been invaluable for Fortell Impact. It has enabled us to collaborate with organisations working towards shared goals, stay informed about emerging trends and opportunities in the sector, and connect with a network of people who are genuinely passionate about social justice across Europe and beyond.

EMN has given us an excellent opportunity to engage with our sector colleagues across Europe. Knowing what others are doing and being regularly informed about the main trends at the European level has been key for us to improve our performance, and in this sense both the Advocacy Committee and the National Networks working group have been a really useful tool

Being part of EMN has been incredibly valuable for #SheDIDIT. The network has opened up opportunities for partnerships, advocacy and funding, while helping us better understand the social finance ecosystem. Our SheFUND programme for women entrepreneurs has particularly benefited from the membership, and we have also gained valuable research expertise through EMN's Maria Nowak Fellowship. We would highly recommend becoming a member.

We are delighted to have recently joined EMN as a rather special player in the world of microfinance, since we grant loans of honour in addition to micro-credit and we try to bring financing solutions to institutions. The network has enabled us to get to know the main players in the microfinance ecosystem and the institutions that support them. The network helps us to start up new partnerships and to better understand the dynamics of the sector, which is essential.

With over 30 years of experience in microfinance, we know that meaningful connections drive lasting impact. EMN has connected us with peers across Europe, giving us access to valuable knowledge, best practices, and partnerships that strengthen our work. We are proud to be part of a community advancing financial inclusion and empowering entrepreneurs.

The EMN it’s a unique cooperation framework for the EU leading inclusive entrepreneurship institutions. Our membership has enabled us to incorporate best practices, scale our programs, increase our visibility and access new funding opportunities. It's definitely worth it!

We have had the pleasure of working with the EMN since our born in 2007. For us, it is crucial to be able to share with microfinance institutions in Europe on strategies and tools to achieve maximum social impact with a view to economic sustainability. We have always received excellent support for technical assistance programmes, international exchanges such as study visits and peer-to-peer, which allow us to strengthen our organization and gain new inspiration and ideas. Also of great interest is the research sector, which helps us to learn more about the industry, its metrics and new trends.

As an EMN member, our organization has benefited from networking opportunities, access to new resources, and a broadening of our understanding of microfinance in Europe. We strongly recommend it!
