Co-operative banks  The new idea Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen created in the mid of the 19th Century a credit cooperative in his constituency in order to fight against unequal access to banking services. The concept of co-operative banks was born: gathering savings to be redistributed as loans with basic guarantees and low interest rates.  The social enterprise growth Raiffeisenrevolutionized the banking system with this new approach based on solidarity, democratic control, open membership and independence. Deeply rooted in the real economy, the model solves concrete problems of the population. He dedicated his life to promote and open new credit co-operatives in rural areas. The market impact From this very local initiative emerged a very large scale network of co-operative banks (e.g. RaiffeisenGroup, CréditAgricole, CréditMutuel, Rabobank etc.). Today, 4.200 banks operate locally with more than 160 million customers and 50 million members (social shares’ holders).  Poverty

The social enterprise growth Local social entrepreneurs replicated this concept combining a social mission (social integration through job experience and coaching) with ecological ambition (producing organic and local food). The association Julienne Javel started in 1994 with a replication strategy and guidance in development, management and professional coordinators skills. In 10 years, the number of gardens increased from 20 to 90, employing more than 3000 persons per year and with a network of 15000 members.

Exki is born from this challenge in 2000, with the opening of a restaurant at the heart of Brussels. The social enterprise growth The merge between healthy and fast food was already well rooted on the American and British catering markets and the 3 social entrepreneurs brought it successfully to continental Europe, going even a step further with a green ambition (i.e. sustainable materials, reduce packaging, recycled paper etc.) The market impact Exki scales up internationally very fast with a first restaurant in Italy in 2004 and others in France and Luxembourg. The concept starts from a niche and Exki manages to combine its financial success with its social commitment and drives plenty of initiatives in the area of “positive economy”. Exki Green health
