We also discussed proposals and approaches from NARA-SK for engaging social economy initiatives in Integrated Territorial Development.
Social enterprises, family businesses, farms, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are key actors in territorial development. Through REGIONAL CLUSTERS, they implement and advocate for the principles of quality of life in the region, ensuring an environmentally responsible, economically sustainable, and socially acceptable approach.
