The Réseau

Support. Strengthen. Shine.

Motivated by their shared vision, the 22 Pôles d’économie sociale have come together in a network to increase their impact. The Réseau leverages its diversity to support and strengthen its member Pôles and help them shine—without compromising their independence or what makes them unique. It amplifies their collective efforts and showcases their local roots.
Together, we are a living network that connects to all territories to drive social and economic transformation.Learn more about what we do
