Social Impact Business Incubator
We believe that the regeneration of territories comes through collaboration between those who live in them, those who dream of them, and those who build them every day with courage.
Caco's business incubator is designed to offer guests a concrete opportunity to turn ideas into projects, and projects into businesses capable of generating value for themselves and the territories
Caco CoLiving is not just a place to live, but a fertile space where ideas, dreams and projects take shape. In the heart of the Apennines, our rural business incubator was born, designed to accompany coliving guests who want to do business while benefiting from a stimulating environment. A dedicated service to foster professional and personal growth that offers targeted advice on positive social impact entrepreneurship, development and territorial regeneration.

Together to regenerate
With Appenninol'Hub, Caco becomes a laboratory of widespread innovation, a place where ideas find a home, meaning and roots.
Caco CoLiving’s social and local business incubator was born and grows in synergy with Appenninol’Hub, a nationally active entity in designing, accompanying and supporting social innovation and regeneration initiatives in Italy’s inland areas.
This collaboration allows us to combine vision, skills and tools to offer those who live and work in Caco a fertile context where they can turn ideas into concrete projects.
Together, we build:
Tailored accompaniment paths for social, cultural, environmental, craft enterprises
Experiential training in impact, sustainability and participatory design
Access to regional, national and European networks and opportunities
Territorial workshops to read needs, activate communities, test new models
AppenninoHub brings to Caco a long experience in working with fragile but potential-rich territories. Its network, methods and ability to activate strategic connections enrich our incubator and make it a reference point for those who want to generate impact in the Apennines.
Appenninol’Hub is a national program that supports the birth and growth of community-based enterprises in inland areas.
Through training, incubation and accompaniment paths, it has contributed to the creation of more than 50 realities in 12 Italian regions.
Over the years it has built a widespread network of projects, experiences and people working to transform the fragility of the territories into new opportunities for living, working and relating.
