Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Consorzio Sir: Milan cooperative consortium providing social services, training, and project management. Direct peer given its joint work with Cascina Biblioteca on Molino di San Gregorio and Solidale Trattoria, and overlapping service lines in social welfare delivery.
• Cooperativa La Cordata: Milan-based social cooperative offering housing, work integration, and cultural/community services. Direct peer because both share the Milanese social-cooperative model, multi-vertical mission, and workforce-inclusion ethos — and a Cascina Biblioteca manager previously worked at La Cordata.
• Centro Ambrosiano di Solidarietà (CEAS): Long-standing Milanese social cooperative cluster operating neighboring services around Cascina San Gregorio. Direct peer because of geographic adjacency, overlapping beneficiary populations, and co-developed social projects with Cascina Biblioteca.
• ANFFAS Milano Onlus: Historic Milanese association for people with intellectual disabilities, and the prior manager of Cascina Biblioteca's premises (entrusted by the municipality in 1978). Direct peer given shared disability-care mission and overlapping beneficiary base.

Broad incumbents

• Codess Sociale: Major Italian cooperative delivering disability services, elderly care, and social welfare programs across multiple regions. Broad incumbent due to overlap in disability-care contracts and similar cooperative-A+B structures, but at much larger national scale.
• Coopselios: One of Italy's largest social cooperatives, operating elderly care, disability services, and educational services nationwide. Broad incumbent because it competes for the same Italian public social-services contracts at greater scale and broader geography.
• Lega del Filo d'Oro Onlus: National Italian foundation providing specialized services for people with sensory disabilities and multiple disabilities. Broad incumbent with overlapping disability-care mission but operating through residential centers rather than Cascina Biblioteca's community-based model.
• Anteo Cooperativa Sociale: National Italian social cooperative network providing health, social, and educational services. Broad incumbent comparable on multi-vertical social-services delivery and public contract dependence.

Others

• Fondazione Triulza: Milan-based social innovation foundation operating at MIND Milano and convening third-sector organizations, public bodies, and corporates. Other/ecosystem comparable because it channels CSR funding and partnerships that Cascina Biblioteca could capture through its corporate-volunteering channels.

Regional players

• Gruppo Polis: Lombardy-based social cooperative group with social housing, disability, and education services. Regional peer because of geographic overlap and similar A+B cooperative structure serving vulnerable populations in northern Italy.
