Platform Cooperativism Consortium New Economy Coalition Platform companies rely on relational and structural domination to undermine worker autonomy, but cole's guild socialism was specifically designed to enhance autonomy in the workplace. following cole's advice today would amount to a defence of worker owned cooperative platforms. A platform cooperative, or platform co op, is a cooperatively owned, democratically governed business that establishes a two sided market via a computing platform, website, mobile app or a protocol to facilitate the sale of goods and services. This consortium provides resources, research, and networking opportunities to facilitate the growth of cooperatively owned digital platforms. it seeks to empower workers and users by advocating for equitable, sustainable, and democratic digital work environments. The platform cooperativism consortium (pcc) is a hub for research, community building, and advocacy for co ops that make the digital transition. the pcc supports the growth and conversion of hundreds of platform co op businesses with tens of thousands of worker owners around the world.

New platform co ops are emerging every day, organizing in diverse sectors such as childcare, data entry, urban recycling, and home services. The multi stakeholder dialogue explored the potential for platform cooperatives as a viable alternative model to the capitalist platforms, and ways to develop the platform cooperatives as a practical solution in the thai context. This program brings together universities, co op associations, worker cooperatives, unions, and other organizations from around the world to research, learn about, and build fair, cooperative. The second co operative movement stakeholder’s annual conference and the platform cooperativism consortium conference 2024 identified opportunities to further enhance and re invent the place of co operatives in kenya’s socio economic development informed by global perspectives.
