The “Strengthening Local Cooperativism” conference was held at our city's Convention Center, with the aim of creating a space for dialogue and strengthening for the city's cooperatives. The activity was organized by the Directorate of Cooperativism and Associativism of the Municipality of Concordia and brought together local, provincial, and national representatives of the sector.
Present were the Mayor Dr. Francisco Azcué, the INAES board member and president of CONARCOOP, Ramiro Martínez, the president of the Institute for the Promotion of Cooperatives and Mutuals of Entre Ríos (IPCYMER), María Laura Renoldi, the Undersecretary of Development and Entrepreneurship, Dr. Gabriel Enguelberg, the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, Dr. Ariel Gorostegui, the Director of Employment, Juan Manuel Scarzello, and the Director General of Labor of the Province of Entre Ríos, Juan Pablo Irurueta.
During the conference, presentations were held on public policy, financing, integration, and current challenges of cooperativism, followed by an exchange space where cooperatives were able to share experiences, concerns, and proposals.
At the opening of the activity, Azcué highlighted the importance of the cooperative sector in the local economy, stating that “it is a key pillar for the productive and social development of Concordia. We are committed to strengthening these spaces for participation and collective work because we believe in a city that grows with opportunities for all.”
“As a State, we must support them, and in this, joint work with the Province is important, as in this opportunity; we are in permanent contact with the Ministry of Government and Labor to be able to develop this conference,” pointed out Azcué.
Ramiro Martínez valued the meeting as a tool for proximity: “From CONARCOOP and INAES, we work so that cooperativism becomes a State policy. It is fundamental to reach the territories, listen, and build together with those who make this movement every day.”
For her part, María Laura Renoldi, from IPCYMER, remarked: “In Entre Ríos, there is great cooperative potential. Promoting these spaces for training and articulation strengthens our organizations and generates a positive impact on the communities.”
Finally, the local director of the area, Ariel Gorostegui, expressed: “We are very satisfied with the participation and commitment of the cooperatives of Concordia. This conference reaffirms the path we have been traveling together with the work team and the support of the authorities.”
The Municipality continues to support and promote public policies for the strengthening of cooperativism, understanding its role as a tool for inclusion and territorial development.
