Support for job creation and entrepreneurship is central to fostering sustainable economic growth and social inclusion – both key aspects of integrated, sustainable urban development.

In the context of the EU Cohesion Policy, businesses assume a vital role in driving positive social and environmental change.

This topic explores initiatives that promote social entrepreneurship, social economy, and inclusive job opportunities to drive sustainable urban economic growth.
