We are really glad to announce another important partnership.
Nova Coop will support the 5th edition of the Master in Service Design.
Coop’s history dates back to 1854 when the first Cooperative store was opened in Turin to answer the growing and joint needs of workers and to “buy wholesale basic commodities such as rice, flour, pasta, soap, etc. and to resell them to members at price cost”.
