The collaborative economy transforms society by enabling sharing, collaboration, and openness through new business models and practices. OuiShare is a community and think tank that has been promoting this transformation since 2010. It began as a blog and has grown to include over 1,500 members across 45 local groups in 15 countries. OuiShare organizes events, runs an academy for education, and incubates startups working in areas like mobility, production, consumption, learning, and governance using collaborative models. The collaborative economy is based on principles of access over ownership, reducing waste, and leveraging technology to facilitate sharing, swapping, renting, and giving of goods and services.
