Business meeting: co-operatives
Sustainable form of collaboration or financing obstacle?
Are cooperatives a sustainable form of organisation that prioritises cooperation and shared values, or does their structure hinder rapid financing and flexibility? These and other questions will be the focus of our event, which offers insights into the practice and future of cooperatives with exciting keynote speeches and a panel discussion.
Join us as experts from the field discuss valuable insights, experiences and solutions for the future of cooperatives. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, network and discuss ideas for future projects with the speakers and other participants at the vegetarian/vegan buffet.
