What is the C3 Space?
WHERE HUMAN AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEET
The C3 Space is the next evolution of collaboration.
It’s a global, open-source, digital platform designed for people working on the frontlines of complex social and environmental challenges.
Whether you’re prototyping policy reform, designing food systems solutions, or trying to shift culture inside your organisation, the C3 Space gives you the tools, community and intelligence to move faster, together.
What is the C3 Space?
C3 Space is an open, digital, growing knowledge and collaboration platform. It’s not another online forum, it is a collective intelligence engine designed to help changemakers get unstuck and unlock new pathways forward. Within the C3 Space you’ll be able to:
Share outcomes from real-world challenges.
Find others facing similar issues with a matching feature.
Tap into AI-powered insights trained on lived experience.
Break silos and learn what’s working across geographies, sectors and scales.
WHY IT MATTERS
Right now, many people are working on the same issues in isolation.
- Labs are doing great work but their learnings stay siloed.
- Innovators test ideas but don’t know what’s already been tried.
- Solutions exist but they’re hard to find, or hard to trust.
The C3 Space is there to accelerate learning, reduce duplication and help people build on each other’s breakthroughs, not start from scratch.
Who the C3 Space is For
C3 Labs happen at different scales, but they all share a common DNA.
