The Commission launch event for the new action plan for the social economy took place in-person in Brussels and online on 16 December 2021.

The European Commission has adopted on December 9 a new action plan to support the social economy. With the action plan the Commission proposes a coherent set of measures aimed at creating enabling conditions for the social economy to fulfil its potential to contribute to fair, sustainable and inclusive growth.

The press presentation can be seen here.

The event aimed at bringing together social entrepreneurs and representatives from social economy organisations from all over Europe (and beyond) to discuss the new opportunities offered by the action plan and its contribution to a more sustainable future.

The elaboration of the  Plan has been a very articulated path that involved all the European stakeholders at all levels and put in place a series of conferences, the  Digital Road to Mannheim, where Torino Social Impact was widely involved, from the first meetings   up to the event dedicated to the ecosystems of the social economy and the final conference, the European Social Economy Summit.
