Zoom a little closer and discover the cooperative global economy
The Cooperative World Map (CWM) is an interactive and up-to-date digital map that aspires to unite and showcase all cooperative entities in the world. The CWM is a visual representation of all cooperative enterprises in the world who have voluntarily shared their data to be part of this accessible and open digital platform. This platform is powered by the Cooperative World Data Project, an initiative that developed the open-source mapping and sharing technology. Here, cooperatives have a common digital hub to connect, share information, promote the strength of the cooperative model, and increase awareness on the benefits of cooperation.

How it Works
This platform is powered by the Cooperative World Data Project, an initiative that developed the open-source mapping and data sharing technology. This technology presents an active and current solution for enterprises in the cooperative ecosystem who are seeking to develop their own digital data tools. Participating data partners can cull the data and use it to populate online marketplaces, create closed community groups for communications, and more.

Value to the Cooperative Movement
The map’s value is limited only by your aspirations and goals!
- For the 2025 International Year of Cooperatives — and beyond, cooperatives can examine, celebrate and reflect on our collective work and contributions, all from one location!
- Data! The research and academic community can easily find cohesive data on cooperatives to conduct different analyses on trends, issues, challenges and more.
- Creating GOOD digital products and services to benefit the cooperative movement is now much easier. Cooperative federations and organizations can use the cohesive and up-to-date data on this platform to create online marketplaces, communities of practice, closed communications groups, and much more.
- Find each other: Cooperatives across all regions and sectors can easily find each other to collaborate. Exercising Principle #6 in the digital era has never been easier!
- Stories and ideas: Explore CWM and find examples and stories of how cooperatives have impacted their local and global communities. This can help promote the cooperative model AND help advocate for policies and regulations that support cooperatives.
The CWM will be launched during the International Cooperative Alliance’s conference in New Delhi in November, setting the stage for cooperatives everywhere to celebrate the 2025 International Year of Cooperatives.
