Social Economy Strategy in Île-de-France region

In France,  social economy is established on solid bases like the law on the Social and Solidarity Economy ("Hamon", 2014) and the law on the New Territorial Organisation of the Republic ("NOTRe", 2015). Nevertheless, there is no national strategy for social economy yet. Hence the importance of regional administrations to set up adequate strategies, as it is the case since 2018.

Île-de-France region went several steps further and defined its own ambitious action plan called "SRESS" for years 2022-2028. Its objectives are to facilitate the business creation process, support growth through innovation, align with green and digital transition standards, and enhace employment, especially by empowering individuals with disabilities or persons marginalised from the regular job market.
