11 Platform Cooperatives Creating a Real Sharing Economy As "death star platforms" such as Airbnb and Uber continue their pursuit of global domination, an alternative is rising in its wake. Platform cooperatives, which share the value they create with the users they depend on, are on the rise. As Shareable co-founder Neal Gorenflo writes in How Platform Co-ops Can Beat Death Stars Like Uber to Create a Real Sharing Economy, "Platform coops combine a cooperative business structure with an online platform to deliver a real-world service."

Rencontres Parcours Numériques #16 : Partage le Cloud ! Une centaine de personnes ont pu participer, durant deux journées à des ateliers, des temps d'échange, des projections-débat, des tables rondes, ou encore des visites pour se familiariser avec les notions de cloud, d'hébergement local, d'infrastructure du numérique mais aussi de biohacking, d'éducation populaire & numérique ou encore d'économie circulaire dans la dynamique des ateliers de réparation. Au croisement de l'éducation populaire et de la médiation numérique, ce rendez-vous a été l'occasion de partager, entre professionnels et curieux, des expériences et réflexions à propos d'un domaine dont on parle peu : celui de la matérialité des technologies numériques. Une opportunité pour mieux comprendre ce sur quoi repose certains de nos imaginaires contemporains, tel que celui du cloud par exemple, et pour imaginer de nouvelles formes de pédagogie autour du numérique, en incluant cette matérialité. Bonne suite à vous et à bientôt, Thomas, chargé de projet à l'association PiNG

Although most of these universities do not exist in their original form, but the seed they sowed built the foundation on which great centers of learning are being built today.
