Peer production: how stuff is made in a decentralized way

• November 14 · 5:00 PM
• SENSORICA labs in Montreal
• See meetup event. 

Production of material goods is getting decentralized. This follows a general trend that people call different names: the collaborative economy, the participatory economy, the sharing economy, or the p2p economy.

Since 2010 SENSORICA is developing a model for open enterprise : individuals form networks able to innovate, produce, distribute and service material goods in an open and decentralized way. 

Start at 5pm, network until 6:30, followed by a 30 min. presentation, followed by open discussions until we finish the beer.

Funding OVNs or other types of open ventures

[applied to the VIE open innovation hub context] 

Since we launched the VIE project, sensoricans have been very busy designing funding strategies for the open world (open networks, open ventures, open source groups of all sorts,...). We got a lot of ideas on this topic through our personal exchanges, from different levels of government, from the academic and the private sector, as well as from hybrid organizations. We think we have enough to start a discussion with the open world. We want to share with you everything we've learned, all in a nutshell. We invite the open world to refine with us the funding strategy and to collaborate with us to put it into practice. 

Crowdfunding is also on the table, but we'll go beyond that.
