Cooperatives Europe’s 20th anniversary – 15 and 16 October, Brussels

On 15 and 16 October 2026, Cooperatives Europe will mark its 20th anniversary with a two-day event at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels, bringing together cooperative members, EU institutions, academia, and partners. For twenty years, Cooperatives Europe has worked alongside its members to build a fairer and more democratic economy, under different cooperative perspectives, national federations, sectors, and leaders. This collective effort has brought diverse groups of people and communities who keep cooperative principles at the heart of their daily work.
