INNOVA SOCIETA' COOPERATIVA

What INNOVA SOCIETA' COOPERATIVA does

Consorzio Innova (legal name: INNOVA SOCIETA' COOPERATIVA) is an Italian cooperative consortium headquartered in Bologna that provides integrated construction, infrastructure, plant engineering, facility management, and energy services. Founded in 2016 through a business lease agreement between Consorzio Innova and Consorzio Unifica (itself resulting from the merger of historic Bolognese construction cooperatives CIPEA, Cariiee, and Coeda), the consortium aggregates 1,050+ member enterprises across 12 operating locations in Italy to deliver multi-disciplinary work packages that individual SMEs cannot perform alone. Its core service portfolio spans building construction and renovation, electrical and mechanical plant engineering, infrastructure works, heritage-restricted property restoration, river and maritime works, facility management and global service, energy services under ESCo certification (UNI CEI 11352), cleaning/sanitization, and project financing.

The consortium monetizes through three revenue streams: one-time public and private construction contracts (building, infrastructure, restoration, river/maritime, plant engineering), recurring facility management and global service contracts for real estate and road heritage portfolios, and managed energy services. Its go-to-market is sales-led, primarily through direct participation in Italian public tenders, enabled by SOA attestation across 28 work categories and a stack of quality, environmental, safety, anti-bribery, social accountability, and gender-equality certifications. Customers span three verticals: Italian public entities (primary), industrial enterprises, and commercial/tertiary sector clients. Pricing is contract-based (no public pricing) and concentrated in B2B/government procurement.

For fiscal year 2025, Consorzio Innova reports a Valore della Produzione of €430 million, a work portfolio exceeding €1.8 billion, and net worth above €24.5 million. The 2025 launch of two new ecosystem entities — Innova Gestione Fiumi (river/water management) and FinNova (financial services) — signals strategic expansion beyond traditional construction. The business is privately held by its member cooperatives, with no external institutional investors or parent holding company identified.
