This session will demonstrate the importance of local and regional governments
as institutions that promote economic and social dynamism in territories offering
new opportunities to stakeholders and conveying development strategies. It
will highlight the growing importance of the involvement of public-private
partnerships and the contributions of economic and social actors in building
more inclusive and sustainable territories by presenting and sharing relevant
experiences from the EU and countries from different regions of the world; and
provide insight to local and regional governments, enabling them to build
partnerships with private actors that improve their development strategies and
the results of their actions in decentralised cooperation.
