SI-DRIVE partner LAMA Agency, in collaboration with Cooperatives Europe, is carrying out an exploratory study on the innovation of cooperative companies.
The aim of the study is to analyse the transformations that the emerging sharing economy paradigm is inspiring and bringing about to different types of cooperatives across Europe, and to identify new opportunities for social and digital innovation that have the potential to re-design future cooperatives.
A number of countries, including Italy, France, UK, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, and others have been involved through their national associations and cooperative umbrella organisations.
A mapping survey (see link below) has been launched to identify any relevant cases of cooperatives that are developing innovations such as new collaborative and peer-to-peer services, new collaborative platforms, new models for sharing and exchanging resources in an efficient and sustainable way.
The results will be presented at the International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC) 2016, Glasgow, 5th to 7th September 2016.
