On May 16th and 17th, the teams of SMart Belgium, platforms2share, and SUPERMARKT are joining forces to host a unique learning journey for platform coops with support from the Enterprise Europe Network and the two EU-funded projects BeShared and EU-GIVE.

The journey aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of what platform cooperativism is all about and will ask: What is the transformative potential of cooperativism for both organizations and communities? What needs to be considered in terms of governance and participation?

For this learning journey, we will bring coop entrepreneurs from Berlin and Brussels together, in order to facilitating mutual learning experiences and creating opportunities for transnational collaboration.

Confirmed participants from Belgium:

FitMyNest (cooperative modular housing)
CoopITeasy (IT coop for social economics)
Usitoo (library of objects)
Wibee (domestic p2p car sharing)
Cobea (cooperative web communication)
