Event Details
The aim of the Global Innovation Coop Summit is to create a space for cooperative leaders from all sectors around the world to share, discuss, learn, and together build a more inclusive plural economy in the innovation trend.
Through these periodic events, we will explore new trends in technological and social innovation (management, leadership, governance, etc.), to prepare the cooperative business model for the challenges it faces and those to come.
Through its basic governance principles practiced for over 150 years, today, the cooperative market can offer a path to the traditional market based on respect for sustainable development, equality, inclusive values, and people-centered principles.
However, in order to assume this role of a leader in directing the “new normal”, the cooperative market must remain agile, innovative, updated and inclined towards digital adaptation, something that has been talked about vastly and is at the core of any market today.

About this Event
We are North West Care Co-Operative, an innovative provider of social care, that has created a community of mutual respect and opportunity whose members care ‘about‘ rather than ‘for’ each other.
Hear about how we aim not to provide ’care’ but rather to allow our members to live life well, as part of a community that is safe, caring, effective in how we support each other, responsive to each other needs, and well led on a co-operative basis.
We have had an exciting first 18 months! Like everyone have worked around a global pandemic, but there has been no furlough here, and our membership is growing, proving that you can’t keep a good idea down!
And what’s more our members are having fun (it is allowed in social care!) and proud to tell you all about us! (Just try and stop them!).
So if you want to hear more about (and help us celebrate)our story or you just want to feel a bit of optimism… join us for this webinar
