Faced with the major digital players, cooperative platforms are emerging in France in a large number of fields: short food circuits, tourism and housing, mobility and logistics, etc. "What these cooperative platforms have in common is that they propose an original approach, with a strong territorial anchoring, dense partnership relations, respect for users and the creation of commonalities and positive externalities.

A number of them have undertaken to coordinate themselves within "Platforms in common", a project led by the association La Coop des Communs

The Coop des Communs organizes on October 11, with the support of the City of Paris, the Forum of Cooperative Platforms :

This Forum will host specialized workshops by sector (short food circuits, tourism and housing, mobility and logistics...) as well as a series of round tables bringing together cooperative platforms, researchers, representatives of French and European cities and institutions from the world of work.
