Building the tools of ecological and social transition together

Octree designs and develops agile, secure and ethical applications to create viable technologies for the commons. The company is guided by its purpose (see above) rather than profit.

  • The company commits to innovation work in the following areas:

    • the social-ecological transformation

    • participatory democracy

    • the digital commons

    • circular economy

  • The team is organized democratically thanks to a clear and distributed governance based on holacracy.

    Practically speaking, the partners have given up their decision-making privileges and work with other members, as a team.

    This allows us to be efficient, pragmatic and creative.
