The Co-op Hackathon 

Co-operatives UK is on a mission to promote digital innovation in the co-op movement – it’s a major part of our current strategy. So we’re launching a series of activities to amplify and foster collaboration around the development of technology that empowers co-ops. 

** We are sorry to announce that the Co-op Hackathon has been postponed until the autumn (date TBC). This decision was taken following the announcement of the train strikes. This would have impacted the event as a few attendees and Co-operatives UK staff would have been travelling from outside London. To be the first to hear about the new dates, register for email updates about tech and co-ops.

What is the Co-op Hackathon?  

It’s an exciting, trailblazing event that will bring together tech co-operators to collaboratively develop digital solutions to support the UK co-op movement. We’ll be focusing on three themes:  

• How can we increase the campaigning power of the co-op movement on issues that matter?  
• How can we use data to strengthen the co-op movement and make it more resilient in the face of a rapidly changing business environment?  
• How can we use technology to increase collaboration between co-ops? 

The Co-op Hackathon is a partnership between Co-operatives UK and The Co-operative Bank, supporting fair and ethical business together.

When and where is the Co-op Hackathon?

** Due to take place in May, the Co-op Hackathon has been postponed until the autumn (date TBC). To be the first to hear about the new dates, register for email updates about tech and co-ops. **
