Coöperatie Gebiedonline

Coöperatie Gebiedonline is a Dutch cooperative that empowers communities to create and manage their own online neighborhood or thematic platforms for connection and collaboration. Founded in 2013, the organization operates from the Netherlands where members collectively decide on platform features, membership fees, and organizational structures as the sole owners of the software.

• Services: The company provides tools for residents, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders to strengthen local connections, exchange information, and co-create shared futures through digital networks.
• Operations: With over 70 online communities hosting more than 60,000 registered individuals, the platform facilitates cross-community engagement among approximately 5,200 active users who link multiple groups together.
• Innovation: As a member-driven entity, the cooperative manages its own development budget and jointly determines data storage policies to ensure transparency and collective control over digital assets.

This model fosters deep local engagement while enabling scalable thematic networking across diverse Dutch regions.
