Coboi was born in 2012 to support entrepreneurship and the social economy. Following the changing contexts, Coboi -as a public laboratory- has rethought its role to adapt to the new issues and needs of our territory. In 2018, it became a public innovation laboratory: Coboi lab, and moved into an underutilized municipal space, initially designed for businesses. One year later, the lab opened its doors as a meeting point for the main socio-economic actors of the territory. The main objective was to promote a new way of approaching contemporary urban challenges in a collaborative way. Coboi lab sought to identify opportunities and common visions that would enable the design of effective solutions. Images: CoboiLab Main image: Ajuntament de Sant Boi
