Innovacoop’s work is guided by the conviction that innovation is fundamental to ensuring the success of cooperatives within the Italian and European landscape. Innovation supports not only their economic growth but also the social development of the communities in which they operate.
Innovacoop’s primary role is to facilitate access to innovation pathways: it is a point of reference for cooperatives looking to adapt to market changes and remain competitive in their sectors.
Through detailed analysis, Innovacoop helps identify and implement technical and management solutions for business modernization.
Innovacoop’s approach is strongly human-centered because it reflects the values of the cooperative tradition by placing people and their development at the core. Collaboration with regional innovation networks, business associations, and various stakeholders in the digital and ecological transition fields allows for the creation of an ecosystem where cooperatives can find concrete support and resources.
Innovacoop adheres to the principles and values of cooperation contained in the Statement on the Cooperative Identity shared by the global cooperative movement.
It supports the Sustainable Development of cooperative enterprises in alignment with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
It shares the cooperative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity, as well as the four ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and caring for others.

Innovacoop’s goal is to make cooperatives in Emilia-Romagna more competitive on the market and enable them to better face the challenges and opportunities related to economic, technological, climatic, and digital changes. It promotes cooperative business culture and supports the birth of cooperative startups in the most innovative sectors.
