More than 800 organisations260 resources, and hundreds of commitments have helped prove that the social economy is not a niche, but a driver of Europe’s resilience, innovation, and competitiveness.

As the Platform, promoted by the European Commission, also carried out with the contribution of EURICSE​, evolves into cross-cutting work across Europe’s industrial ecosystems, from tourism to textilesagri-food to construction, one lesson stands out: alliances are the new operating system for the green and digital transitions.
