What Sistema Ocb/mt does

Sistema OCB/MT is the official representative body of cooperatives in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, operating under the national Sistema OCB framework established by Law 5.764/1971. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Cuiabá, the federation is structurally composed of three entities: OCB/MT (institutional representation), Sescoop/MT (training and human development), and FECOOP CO-TO (regional federation). It represents 171 registered cooperatives serving approximately 1.79 million members (cooperados), whose collective economic movement reached R$ 47.95 billion — equivalent to 17% of Mato Grosso's GDP — and generated more than 15,000 direct jobs, a 55%+ increase versus 2020.

The organization delivers a structured portfolio of services organized across eight programmatic pillars: AvaliaCoop (diagnostics), CapacitaCoop (training, including a distance-learning EAD platform), CulturaCoop (culture and education), ESGCoop (environmental, social, governance), InovaCoop (innovation), NegóciosCoop (business development), RepresentaCoop (political representation), and SouCoop (cooperative database management). Supporting these are specialized platforms including the Observatório COOP MT (data and market intelligence), Inteligência Tributária (tax advisory with Radar Tributário and Alerta Tributário tools), IC.COOP/MT (quarterly confidence index), and targeted programs such as Educoop (educational cooperatives) and Elas pelo Coop (female leadership). The technology backbone consists of web-based content, training, and data platforms rather than proprietary AI/ML systems.

Sistema OCB/MT operates as a private non-profit federation funded through member cooperative fees and contributions under a subscription-style model. It does not disclose revenue and does not engage in commercial product distribution. The cooperative movement it represents spans seven sectors — agricultural (72 cooperatives, the largest), credit (Sicredi, Sicoob, Unicred), health (Unimed), educational, transport, and others — with credit cooperatives serving as the sole physical financial institution in 40 Mato Grosso municipalities. The leadership team is headed by President Nelson Piccoli and Superintendent Frederico Azevedo, supported by specialized managers including Tatiane Perondi (Education and Social Promotion).
