The Social Innovation Day
Arena of Boldness
Pavilion 7.3 – Development
The 2025 Mayor’s Convention highlighted social innovation, an essential lever for addressing the social and environmental needs of local territories.
During a special day held on November 19, in partnership with the Fondation La France s’engage, elected officials and local stakeholders explored how the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) offers concrete, co‑constructed solutions that create collective value while respecting the environment.
This day aimed to strengthen the role of social innovation in future municipal programs and to raise awareness among decision-makers about the opportunities offered by these new solidarity‑based models.
