Barcelona Activa resources
Barcelona Activa fosters and reinforces initiatives from entrepreneurs, organisations and enterprises in the city’s Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE), with a socio-economic innovation perspective.
InnoBA, the city’s SSE reference centre, cooperates in boosting and consolidating cooperative, community and transformative projects, providing mentoring and training, to ensure sustainable local development. We do all that with the intention of making the SSE more widely known, helping to implement it and ensuring the projects we promote have an impact on the whole of the economy.
