Just days ago, we celebrated the International Day of Families — a powerful reminder that the family, in all its forms, is the heart of every society, community, and cooperative.
At the Global Innovation Coop Summit, we believe that just as families are built on trust, care, and shared responsibility, so too must our global actions be. Creating a better world starts at home — and grows through cooperation.
This year Global Innovation Coop Summit will explore the tipping points that are reshaping our world — and how cooperatives, rooted in people and purpose, can respond with courage and creativity. As we face multiple global crises — from climate instability to inequality to digital disruption — we ask:
What will it take to tip the balance toward a more just, sustainable, and humane future?
Here are some of the tipping points we’ll be addressing together:
🔸 Climate resilience through regenerative agriculture and circular economies
🔸 Energy transition and the role of cooperatives in decentralized solutions
🔸 Youth leadership and intergenerational renewal
🔸 Tech for good: AI, data, and platform cooperativism
🔸 Reimagining governance and ownership models for inclusion and equity
These issues don’t just affect industries or markets — they affect families, livelihoods, and future generations.
Let’s remember: cooperatives are families of values. Built on solidarity and collective action, we are uniquely placed to lead transformational change — not alone, but together.
Join us at the next Global Innovation Coop Summit in Torres Vedras, Portugal, and be part of this global family of changemakers.
Because when we act together, a tipping point becomes a turning point.
