Pôle de l’économie sociale Vallee-du-Haut-St-Laurent

Present in all regions of Quebec, the social economy centers are entirely dedicated to the development of the social economy in their territory. They promote consultation between the different actors in their environment and support the creation of favorable conditions for this entrepreneurial development model. In doing so, they contribute to the vitality and economic diversification of their territory. Through their actions, they support the emergence of the social economy as an entrepreneurial model of territorial development and encourage the community to purchase from its companies. They thus contribute to positioning the social economy as an entrepreneurial model of choice and promote its principles, its contribution and its benefits for communities. They help to strengthen social economy businesses through the development of initiatives, tools or actions complementary to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
