The Platform Coops network was a joint project of K8 - Institut für Strategische Ästhetik and Platform Coops eG. The Platform Coops network project was launched in 2020 by pioneers of the Platform Coop movement in Germany and supported as part of the German Ministry of Economy's IGP-funding. The aim of the project was to establish a network for platform coops and self-organised collectives in Germany. To this end, we worked together to develop a strategy for knowledge transfer, examined the framework conditions and developed a creative environment for the development of pioneering solutions and experimental spaces.
