Confcooperative Unione Provinciale Sassari Olbia

Our business association, located in Sassari (Sardinia), is part of the Confederazione Cooperative Italiane, a primary national association representing, assisting, protecting and auditing the co-operative movement. Throughout northern Sardinia, our Provincial Union promotes the values of cooperation and sustains the interests and the growth of the member cooperatives. Our association also provides business advice and start-up assistance for new cooperative enterprises, paying particular attention to young people, women and the unemployed. In close collaboration with our Administrative Services Center Puntocooper, we sustain the growth of associated cooperatives’ as well as the would-be ones by providing technical support in business plan development process and for credit access. Together with the University of Sassari, we also organize events to facilitate the matching between supply and demand in the labor-market connecting our member cooperatives with university students and young graduates. In partnership with different local actors, public and private, we offer training opportunities to upgrade skills of our associated cooperatives’ members and we are engaged in projects aiming to spread the cooperative entrepreneurial culture at school and university. In synergy with the other territorial Unions, Confcooperative Sassari Olbia also contributes to implementing projects financed or co-financed by public institutional partners or private entities, in line with its strategic goals.
