  • Introduction

    An image representing Social Economy environment

    SEs contribute to local development by addressing social challenges that traditional businesses and public services may not cover. By supporting SEs, LPAs can foster more inclusive economy that benefits diverse stakeholders. Besides the financial support, non-financial support is also important. It helps SEs to build networks and relationships essential for their growth (facilitating connections with investors, advisors, other enterprises, which can lead to collaborations and partnership that enhance the impact of SEs). 

    SEs often reinvest profits into community projects, thus contribute to strengthening local resilience against economic shocks. By supporting these enterprises, LPAs can ensure that communities remain robust and self-sustaining. Non-financial support from LPAs helps maximizing the potential of SEs to contribute to local development, social innovation, and community resilience. This support helps create an enabling environment where SEs can effectively address societal needs while promoting sustainable economic growth.
