Cooperative Association “NET COOP” was established in 1996 as a union to support SMEs. The Union has been approved by nine ministries, and currently approximately 3,300 SMEs and individual business owners in various industries across Japan are members.

The Union’s features include a low membership fee, improvements in welfare benefits that are difficult for small and medium enterprises to achieve alone, new customer development, and the provision of a place for networking that utilizes the strengths of the different industries. Additionally, the Union provides timely information for major insurance companies that are clients and serves as a bridge connecting us to their major clients. The Union also contributes to support for the sales activities of union members.

By incorporating the support of major companies into business development that cannot be achieved by the Union alone, our Union aims to build a unique union platform that can be realized only through the aggregation of different industries.

Through unions companies connect, people connect, they grow together with union members, and thus they connect to the future. Through our work, we will continue to contribute to society.

The Union’s features include a low membership fee, improvements in welfare benefits that are difficult for small and medium enterprises to achieve alone, new customer development, and the provision of a place for networking that utilizes the strengths of the different industries.
