Roadmap to sustainability and inclusive development.
Microfinance as a Catalyst towards building stronger local communities.
The role of Microfinance is pivotal in empowering regional and local communities, foster cohesion and enhance cooperation. Key examples on how microfinance and cooperatives can improve access to housing, promote gender equity and equal opportunities, stimulate employment and (green) entrepreneurship as well as promote innovation.

- To draw the attention of European media to how microfinance works in Europe and how it supports and helps the unemployed and European citizens excluded from the traditional financial sector.
- To exchange experiences within the European microfinance sector by giving visibility to the work of EMN members.
- To allow local members to draw the spotlight on their achievements and their missions at the local level
