GERMANY
Innova eG is a German cooperative whose mission is to deliver training and advice for new co-operatives. Since August 2006, the reform of the co-operative law in Germany has introduced the possibility to set up cooperatives also for the promotion of the social and cultural interest of its members.

Moreover, through the reform it has become easier to establish small sized co-operatives.

- Replication systems for new co-operatives;
- Central development agency in Germany for self help, social and cultural co-operatives;
