GLOBAL INNOVATION COOP SUMMIT
The aim of 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.
Context
Day to day
activities have been changed by the pandemic. The new standard seems to be here to stay, and it is now up to us to know how to deal with this reality. We are doomed to adapt, transform our ways of doing things, our ways of being, so let’s do it.
Moving ahead
in the new normal is to be "Creating new cooperatives", reviving the spirit and imagination of pioneer coop, working together for sustainable development, equality, inclusive alues, and people centred principles. It’s about responding to new needs, new ways of working and doing things in a converging world.
Innovative cooperatives
as the opportunities to inspire and to become the New Way of doing things in the new normal for the good of humanity. This event is about to open a door to the future of cooperatives in the age of the convergence and antifragility movements.

EXISTENTIAL FLUIDITY: THE FUTURE OF COOPERATIVES IN THE AGE OF THE CONVERGENCE AND ANTIFRAGILITY MOVEMENTS. We now live in a new world. Today, the top performers have either reinvented themselves or explored fundamentally novel growth opportunities, powered by the possibilities of "Convergence" that integrates historically distinct technological and scientific disciplines. "Convergence" erases the boundaries between the digital, physical, and online environments and generates unprecedented opportunities for science, technology and business. But in today's fluid world, being collaborative, adaptive and resilient is not sufficient for survival and growth. Coops also need to cultivate "Anti-fragility" to persevere in the face of continuous acceleration, volatility, and adversity, feed on these conditions to grow stronger, improve their sense-making capabilities, and develop a bias to action.
