INTEGRA SOC COOP SOCIALE

What INTEGRA SOC COOP SOCIALE does

Cooperativa Sociale Integra is an Italian social cooperative (Cooperativa Sociale) founded in 2014 in Piedmont and headquartered in Novara, with a secondary office in Turin. It delivers an integrated portfolio of social services for vulnerable populations — including migrants and asylum seekers, families in fragile situations, mother-child units, neo-majorenni (newly adult migrants exiting minor community residence), and persons with mild disabilities. Service lines span accommodation in a decentralized network of private apartments, cultural mediation, administrative/immigration paperwork support, Italian language (L2) literacy and civic education, social assistance and counseling, family support, daily meal preparation and municipal catering, and dedicated wheelchair-accessible transportation.

The cooperative is staffed by approximately 28-30 specialized professionals — educators, psychologists, health assistants, social workers, social assistants, and linguistic-cultural mediators — operating as a vertically integrated delivery unit rather than a technology platform. There is no proprietary software, app, or AI component in the offering; the value proposition rests entirely on the human expertise and the operational network (apartments, vehicles, catering kitchen) required to serve beneficiaries on the ground.

Commercially, Integra operates a managed-services / public-procurement model: revenue is generated through contracts and tenders with municipal administrations in Novara and surrounding provinces (including meal delivery and housing-emergency programs) and through participation in EU-funded cross-border projects such as Interreg MINPLUS. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set contractually per project (e.g., €7,500 for the December 2020 MINPLUS service call). The cooperative achieved €2.5 million in revenue in 2017 (the latest disclosed figure), was recognized in the 2021 Il Sole-24Ore/Statista "Leader della Crescita" ranking, and is led by legal representative Eloisa Rapisardi. Geographic reach now spans Novara, Turin, Milano, and Varese provinces, primarily within the Piedmont region of Italy.
