mixed economy company
Explanation:
I'd be literal here. The first two translations offered are unnecessarily "interpretive", since the participation of the public and private sectors is patent from the context.

I'd use "company", since a "sociedad" isn't necessarily a corporation, and a "joint venture" isn't necessarily a legal entity.
