In the Anoia region, various initiatives prioritize more equitable environmental and social practices and articulate alternatives to the current economic system. We are talking about initiatives that operate in the field of the so-called Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE).

With the start of 2026, many companies are taking advantage of the moment to review strategies and make decisions that will shape their future.

Among these decisions, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are no longer an option exclusively for large corporations, but have also become a lever for growth for small and medium-sized enterprises in the region seeking to consolidate their competitiveness.
