I ask the committee members for their active interest so that social economy enterprises can lead the spread of social values and become a key pillar driving the local economy."

The city plans to systematically promote nurturing measures to discover citizen-participatory social economy enterprises that realize public value and strengthen institutional support, thereby contributing to sustainable job creation and solving social problems.
