On 4 November 2026, we invited our community to explore a proposition that is becoming increasingly urgent: if technology is to serve people and communities, democratising the code will not be enough. We also need to democratise the economic structures through which technology is financed, owned, governed and sustained.
The 90-minute call brought together social entrepreneurs, cooperative founders, tech pioneers, platform operators and people developing new financial and digital infrastructure. Several initiatives that Platform Coops eG currently accompanies through its advisory work also joined the discussion. This made the session more than a presentation of concepts: it became an exchange between people already testing cooperative ownership, community finance and democratic technology in practice.
You can watch the full recording of the community call here.
