The plan has 3 goals:
1β£ Creating the right conditions
2β£ Opening opportunities to start up and scale up
3β£ Making sure the social economy is recognised
π± #SocialEconomy organisations put social & environmental purposes first, and:
π΄ offer solutions to key challenges in our societies
π΄ represent 2.8 million social economy entities in Europe
π΄ employ 13.6 million people
