As a social start-up, 1D Lab chose the specific legal form Cooperative Company (SCIC) in order to propose a shared governance and to dedicate its actions to the benefit of common goods and general interest. According to 1D Lab, inventing new answers and new models means to permanently lead collective experimentations that rely on a network of partners committed to serving cultural diversity. 1D Lab aims at reinforcing the diffusion and remuneration of independent creations thanks to digital services and resources.
