Cooperative Business Institute

The Cooperative Business Institute (CBI) focuses on promoting the cooperative business model, where members jointly own and manage a business to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs. Unlike traditional businesses driven by profit maximization for shareholders, cooperatives emphasize democratic decision-making and benefit-sharing among their members. CBI provides resources, training, and support to help individuals and groups establish successful cooperatives, fostering community empowerment and sustainable economic development. By prioritizing collaboration and shared goals, the CBI aims to enhance the understanding and implementation of cooperative principles in various sectors.
