LabCoop is a community that hosts, incubates and promotes cooperative social entrepreneurship initiatives. They understand that social entrepreneurship initiatives are those that, through an economic activity, pursue:
- Transform the economy, society, culture.
- Cooperativize the activity.
- Hold on over time.
- Multiply your model.
LabCoop proposes to emphasize the necessarily cooperative dimension of social entrepreneurship. It also promotes social innovation initiatives, which are those that carry out activities that transform the social, economic, political, cultural or environmental reality, even though they are not necessarily linked to an entrepreneurial initiative.
They understand innovation as an attitude, a way of doing things, not an end or a goal in itself; innovation is the tool, attitude or resource that allows the creativity necessary to develop social entrepreneurship.
They are a non-profit cooperative promoted by: Grupo Ecos sccl - Calidoscoop sccl - Cooperativa Etcèteres - Hobest sccl - L'Àpostrof - Arç Corredoria d'Assegurances, sccl - i-LabSo sccl.
