This paper aims to locate platform co‑ops – or co‑operative platforms – within the co‑operative sector and the wider digital economy, and explore how the International Co‑operative Alliance can define and support the development of the model.
The paper is written by Ed Mayo, Secretary General of Co-operatives UK and Vice President of Cooperatives Europe at the request of the ICA and has been developed with input from a small number of international experts and innovators in the field.
