<![CDATA[The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to various economic sectors, including cooperatives as one of the pillars of the people’s economy in Indonesia. Cooperatives, which have long been known for their principles of mutual cooperation and shared welfare, are required to adapt to technological developments in the Society 5.0 era. This study aims to analyze the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for cooperative transformation toward the digital era in order to improve their competitiveness and contribution to the national economy. The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through a literature study of various journals, scientific articles, and reliable sources related to cooperative digitalization and Society 5.0. The results of the study indicate that digital transformation can help cooperatives improve operational efficiency, expand market access, enhance member service systems, and create transparency in financial management.
