In 2013 Alternativa Zdola joined the Visegrad Fund's project "Inclusive Local Economies through Cooperatives Development" endorsed by the International Visegrad Fund. The project is administered by the Slovak association Utopia and includes Hungarian and Polish partners. It maps out the current status of cooperatives in individual countries and documents inspiring examples of best practices relating to legislation, as well as media coverage. As an outcome of this project a "cooperative incubator" will be created in each of the four countries, which will serve as information and advisory centers for individuals interested in cooperatives.
