It is an annual event that brings together the rich tapestry of experiences and practices of solidarity economy of the country. Today, 171 organisations and enterprises\u00a0are already registered\u00a0to participate in the fair, representing 94% occupancy of the devoted\u00a0space of Fabra i Coats in this event.<\/p>\n<p>These organizations are mainly cooperatives, but also associations, foundations, consumer groups and employment agencies, among others. These 171 projects and initiatives of solidarity economy are divided into 33 municipalities throughout Catalonia, an example of the broad territorial scope of social solidarity economy in this territory. \u00a0The FESC has\u00a0tripled the number of exhibitors \u00a0from the rest of the Spain with respect to last year, with the presence of companies from Bilbao, Almeria, Madrid, Pamplona, Valencia and Palma de Mallorca.

The sectors of communication, education and culture (11% each), housing (10%), textiles and finance (6% each), entertainment (4%), and care (2%) follow. \u00a0The FESC\u00a0demonstrates again that\u00a0most of the necessities and needs of our daily lives may be filled with products and services offered by the cooperative, social and solidarity economy.<\/p>\n<p>Also to be noted is the presence of experiences of solidarity economy of Kurdistan, which will be the guest nation this year. The area was chosen for its model of inspiration in the cooperative economy and their ecological and egalitarian, community principles despite being a stateless nation.
