Consortium

What Consortium does

Co&SO (Consorzio per la Cooperazione e la Solidarietà) is a Florence-based consortium of 11 social cooperatives founded in 1995 and operating across seven intervention areas: Education, Culture and Tourism, Social Inclusion, Care, Labor Insertion, European Project Design, and Communication. The member cooperatives fall under five legal categories — Type A (social/health/educational services), Type B (productive activities employing disadvantaged persons under Italian Law 381/1991), Type A+B hybrids, Agricultural (social farming), and Services (heritage, archives, logistics). Co&SO coordinates roughly 6,058 workers and beneficiaries across Tuscany and six additional Italian regions (including Sardinia), reaching approximately 200,000 people annually in education, labor integration, care and social inclusion, and serving about 1.91 million users of culture and tourism services. The organization is led by President Claudia Fiaschi and operates from Via Valdipesa 1 in Florence.

The consortium's revenue model rests on three pillars: (1) accredited public healthcare and social-service contracts with regional and municipal authorities in Tuscany (notably Regione Toscana, Azienda USL Toscana Centro, Comune di Firenze, and multiple Società della Salute entities), pursuant to regional accreditation under LR 82/2009; (2) European project grants across Erasmus+, AMIF, Horizon Europe, LIFE, CERV, and Creative Europe — currently 12 active projects with 70+ partners in 20 countries; and (3) revenue from Type B cooperative productive activities (cleaning, waste management, logistics, green maintenance) that integrate disadvantaged workers into the labor market. Italian banking foundations (Intesa Sanpaolo, Fondazione CR Firenze, Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione Cariplo, Fondazione Con il Sud) and corporate foundations (Burberry Foundation, Con i Bambini) also provide project co-financing.

Technology-enabled offerings sit inside EU-funded project deliverables rather than as standalone commercial products. e-DUTY is an AI-powered platform integrating wearable devices with physician-supervised data processing to monitor cognitive-motor rehabilitation in elderly adults aged 70-85. EPIC deploys VR/AR/MR technologies with AI-generated avatars and immersive content for Prato's industrial heritage tourism. RECONNECT is an online gaming platform for teacher-led social reintegration of Hikikomori adolescents. SOFT is an e-learning platform for organic and smart farming across Jordan, Egypt, Greece, and Italy. Resilient Roots delivers eco-anxiety education for young adults aged 18-25, and Outdoor4MI provides inclusive outdoor education toolkits for early childhood teachers. Distribution is overwhelmingly via direct public-sector contracts and co-design (co-programmazione/co-progettazione) with public institutions rather than commercial channels.

Core offering

Consorzio Co&So is a social cooperative consortium coordinating 11 member cooperatives (Type A, B, A+B, Agricultural, and Services) that deliver integrated social welfare services across Tuscany and six other Italian regions. Its core offerings span seven intervention areas: Education, Culture and Tourism, Social Inclusion, Care (home care and nursing homes), Labor Integration, European Project Design, and Communication. The consortium secures revenue primarily through accredited public healthcare contracts (LR 82/2009), labor integration mandates (Law 381/1991), and European Union project grants (Erasmus+, AMIF, Horizon Europe, LIFE, CERV, Creative Europe), serving approximately 200,000 beneficiaries annually.

Product overview

Co&So is a cooperative consortium operating across seven intervention areas: Education, Culture and Tourism, Social Inclusion, Healthcare, Labor Insertion, European Project Design, and Communication. As a social services organization, its technology offerings are primarily project-based services rather than unified software products. Key technology-enabled services include e-DUTY (AI-powered elderly care platform with wearable technology), EPIC (immersive VR/AR tourism experiences for Prato industrial heritage), RECONNECT (online gaming platform for social reintegration), SOFT (e-learning platform for agricultural education), and Resilient Roots (eco-anxiety management education). The consortium does not offer a unified platform but delivers specialized digital services embedded within its social welfare programs, primarily funded through European projects.
