Democratic Alternative: Unlocking the Potential of NI Co-op Sector

The co-operative sector in one of Northern Ireland's most overlooked and underdeveloped assets. Co-operatives, businesses owned and democratically controlled by their members, have the potential to build economic resilience, promote decent work and retain wealth locally, all while fostering trust and shared values in communities.

Join us today to the launch of this very important piece of research, which examines the current scale, distribution and strengths of local co-operatives, identifies key barriers and highlights opportunities for interventions to grow the sector.

Co-operators, policy makers, political representatives, business advisors and supporters are all welcome.

This report has been authored by Sean Byers on behalf of Trademark Belfast and Co-operative Alternatives and commissioned by the Department of the Economy.

Lunch included.
