Summary/Abstract: A characteristic feature of the knowledge economy in the twenty-first century is the growing importance of enterprise collaboration efforts meant to maintain and strengthen their competitive position. Enterprises can thus more easily achieve set goals and develop their market, financial, and manufacturing potential. Cooperation affects integration between suppliers, leading to the exchange of knowledge and improved management systems and processes. Cooperation plays a significant role in the functioning of the organisation and may significantly boost effectiveness. Rational cooperation both between and within companies can contribute to the actual use of their potential, which is reflected in their further development. An example worthy of attention is cooperation in joint projects, as it is these very projects that generate company progress and development. The purpose of this article is to examine the forms of cooperation in the framework of projects and identify the effects of cooperation and their limitations, as well as to identify the risks that may arise as a result of cooperation.
