Introduction
Facilitate the emergence of the first collaborative economy cluster, an ecosystem for innovation and local economic development. Another way to look at this is to create a special economic zone in Montreal, where p2p economic models are implemented to provide a window towards our future society.
Description
$8M to create the world's first collaborative economy cluster in Verdun, Montreal
Background
Initiative started by Sensorica in collaboration with David Lametti, at that time MP from Verdun and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, currently Minister of Justice.
David follows Sensorica since 2013. In January 2016, after the federal election, he invited Sensorica members to discuss about an initiative to boost the economy in his riding. The general idea was to create a network of open innovation spaces, built along the OVN model proposed by Sensorica. David asked Tibi to gather a group of experts from Sensorica and other partner networks to facilitate the implementation of this concept.
OuiShare MTL was also included in this project. Alex Bigot, co-founder of OuiShare MTL and OuiShare global connector was invited by sensoricans at a meeting on the Parliament Hill in Ottawa, where David reaffirmed his interest for this project.
The project was first promoted during the 2016 World Social Forum, and more recently during Eco2Fest 2019.
See the NOICE proposal to DEC, 2019 for more.
