European Projects Hub for the Social Economy — 2026 Report
Over 100 organisations involved, 44 European project applications developed, 15 projects funded by the European Commission, €9.4 million secured at European level and more than €2.7 million in direct benefits for the local area.
These are some of the results achieved by the European Projects Hub for the Social Economy, the initiative developed in 2023 by Torino Social Impact in co-design with WECO Impresa Sociale, with the support of the Turin Chamber of Commerce and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo. The Hub aims to strengthen the capacity of the Turin ecosystem to access European funding and contribute to the development of the social economy.
Today, the Hub represents a territorial point of reference for third sector organisations, social enterprises, cooperatives, and organisations committed to generating social impact, offering tools, expertise and qualified support in European project design.
The initiative is part of the framework of the most recent European policies supporting the social economy, from the Social Economy Action Plan to the Recommendation of the Council of the European Union on developing social economy framework conditions, as well as the implementation processes launched at national and local level.
