Global Collective of 80 “Connectors”OuiShare is a global collective of innovators and entrepreneurs who build local communities and projects around collaborative economies, emerging communities and digital transformations.
Global Network, Local CommunitiesFrom Paris to Berlin, Barcelona, Rio or London, our connectors have built a strong network of local communities that enable fruitful connections, and global trend identifications
Acclaimed Festivals & Conferences OuiShare Fest (Paris, Barcelona) and ColaborAmerica (Rio) are leading festivals focusing on collaborative economies, emerging communities and digital transformations, with the finest international crowd of innovators, thought leaders and professionals
Online Media PublishingOuiShare Magazine, a multilingual online media that publishes in-depth analysis about the collaborative society ; and “Le Blog de la Conso Collaborative” the leading french blog on sharing economy
Think Tank & ResearchOuiShare creates open knowledge and fresh ideas through research collaborations, on topics such as the impacts of the sharing economy, new business models or new co-operative governance in the collaborative economy.
Community IncubatorOuiShare incubates emerging communities that bring together innovators and incumbents to invent new practices, products or policies, in areas such as open source sustainability (POC21 innovation camp), new transportation (La Fabrique des Mobilités, by ADEME) and collaborative cities (Sharitories)
Professional EducationWith the “OuiShare Up” training program, we help professionals to understand the rules of new economies and to drive meaningful change within companies and institutions
Certified ExpertsThe “OuiShare Experts” label is delivered to the experts and consultants who have demonstrated expertise and contributed to OuiShare projects. We support them with knowledge and network.
