The Global Cooperative Entrepreneurs (GCE) is a mentoring programme for young entrepreneurs who want to start up a cooperative. It builds on an innovative partnership between cooperative associations and youth organisations, who together support entrepreneurs in their start-up process. The GCE programme is inspired by the CoopStarter 2.0 Erasmus+ funded project coordinated by Cooperatives Europe.
