ASETT
?
ASETT is an international initiative that combines strategic reflection and practical action to strengthen the role of the Social Economy in the face of major global challenges.
We research, connect and launch initiatives that demonstrate it is possible to compete, grow and distribute value from the origin.
A public-private alliance
ASETT was born from the conviction that together we go further. We are a public-private alliance united by one purpose: to strengthen and build inclusive business models that are competitive and contribute to reducing inequalities.
