COOPEN

Coopen represents a participatory open innovation process with high social impact, designed to address pressing needs in the fields of sustainable agriculture, health and well-being, and circular economy. These areas align with the major challenges of international development cooperation and contribute to achieving specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
