A new network, a shared ambition: advancing cooperative innovation on a global scale.
The International Cooperative Innovation Network (ICIN) is a young cooperative bringing together people, organizations, and ideas around a common goal: strengthening the ability of cooperatives and their partners to innovate together, across borders.
We believe that only through international collaboration can we truly address the major social, economic, and ecological challenges of our time.
We are in the process of building this network, and our official membership recruitment campaign launches in June 2025.
By becoming a member, you join a dynamic community that:
- Fosters international partnerships to co-develop impactful, concrete projects with social, economic, and environmental value.
- Shares tools, research, methodologies, and expertise to strengthen the innovation capacity of cooperatives and mutual organizations.
- Provides privileged access to workshops, events, publications, and working groups where we explore today’s most pressing issues together (ecological transition, artificial intelligence, inclusion, democratic governance, etc.).
- Amplifies the voice of the cooperative model on the international stage, in dialogue with major global networks and forums.
Why become a member?
Because we believe that when cooperatives unite globally, they can change the rules of the game.
As a member, you will benefit from:
- A space to test, learn, and co-create.
- Direct connections with strategic partners locally and internationally.
- Greater visibility and recognition for your initiatives on the global stage.
- Support to scale your ideas and bring them to life.
