The Springfield Open Exchange

The Springfield Open Exchange was inspired by a chemically contaminated, abandoned street in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts in the United States of America, where the need was felt to give value, to that which had been abandoned.

Further inspiration is the collaboration by millions of people to develop computer software for free use and distribution - the 'Open Source' software phenomena. The fundamentals of this collaboration will be used for The Springfield Open Exchange.

The Springfield Open Exchange will be a place to introduce, create, explore and collaborate on innovative and evolving financing mechanisms and economic models. The core of these mechanisms is the principles of triple bottom line returns and complete transparency throughout all business activities.

If we all agreed to give greater value to economic models that improved our lives - we could. Some of the models and experiments being contemplated include:

• Employee Stock Ownership
• Cooperatives
• Green Business Development
• Local Living Economies
• Bottom of the Pyramid Commerce
• Private Stock Exchange
• Mirco Loan Connection
• Alternative Currencies
• Patient Capital Connection
• Sovereign Nation Stock Exchange
• Traditional Financing Instruments
• General Agreements

In the event you are interested in any of these models or are interested in introducing another, please contact us. This part of the site is under development and will be ready soon.
