6ª edition of Platform Coops Now!

Registrations are open for the sixth edition of the Platform Co-ops NOW! course, which starts on May 27 and runs through June 19.

To date, more than 1383 people from more than 63 countries have participated in the training course on cooperative digital platform entrepreneurship given by Mondragon Unibertsitatea and the prestigious New York University The New School.

This online training course encourages team entrepreneurship, the development of new digital cooperative platforms, as well as the creation of a global community. The program aims to raise awareness of the opportunity that platform cooperatives offer, as well as empower people to be able to create new ones.

At a time when the concentration of big tech companies is becoming more pronounced, this course does not simply generate an analysis and monitoring of capitalism.  It prepares people for success as platform entrepreneurs in the exponentially growing ecosystem that is the gig economy. It gives participants the opportunity to analyze, engage and become part of a generation of young leaders experimenting with innovative power-building strategies grounded in cooperative ownership of a new type of cooperative work, platform cooperatives. It is the leap from the "sharing economy" to a truly participatory economy. A shared and democratic ownership economy is possible.

This project arises from the collaboration through a consortium supported by CEPES Spanish Business Confederation of Social Economy and with TAZEBAEZ, Union of Cooperatives EspazoCoop, School of Social Economy, Florida International University and Mondragon Unibertsitatea.
