Four Irish cooperatives are among 18 finalists shortlisted from a competitive field of leading cooperatives from across the European Union, in the European Awards for Cooperative Innovation.
Organised every three years by Cogeca (European Association of Agri-Cooperatives), the awards are considered the ‘Oscars’ for innovation in cooperative industries, marking outstanding innovation and excellence in the agri-food, fishery and forestry sectors.
The theme of this year’s award is focused on sustainability-driven innovation including the creation of new products and services, markets, processes and business models driven by economic, social or environmental objectives.
The Irish cooperative organisations shortlisted are Dairygold, FRS Network, Glanbia and the National Federation of Group Water Schemes.
