The TecnoCampus conference center hosted the official opening event marking Mataró as the Spanish Capital of the Social Economy 2026, an institutional event attended by the Second Deputy Prime Minister and minister, as well as representatives of the Government of the Generalitat, the cooperative sector, and the main economic and social stakeholders of the region.
The event marked the starting point of a year of activities that will position Mataró as a national benchmark in the field of the social economy, with a program that will include professional conferences, sectoral meetings, discussion forums, and initiatives with a European outlook.
During the event, the role of the social economy was highlighted as a business model that generates quality employment, territorial cohesion, and innovation with social impact. The institutional speeches emphasized the need to foster partnerships between public administrations, businesses, universities, and organizations in order to consolidate a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient economic model.
The celebration of this event at the TecnoCampus center reinforces its position as a benchmark venue for major institutional and economic events, and as an ecosystem that integrates university, business, and entrepreneurship in service of the territory’s development.
With this event, the TecnoCampus reaffirms its commitment to promoting the social economy and to fostering initiatives that connect knowledge, innovation, and social impact.
