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

The European Commission intends to present a new action plan to support the social economy in December 2021. With the action plan the Commission will propose 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.

We can only achieve this goal through partnership and cooperation. This is why, to mark the launch of the action plan, we would like to bring 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.
