Description
High-impact, social SMEs remain broadly unknown to impact investors and asset managers due to limited information and identification problems. To overcome the asymmetry of information and provide reliable guidance to Swiss asset managers, we aim to create an automated big data platform for the identification, classification, and geolocalization of social SMEs that provide solutions to specific SDGs.
