OpenBusiness.cc was launched at the Tate Gallery, Britain on 8 October 2005. It is a platform for sharing innovative Open Business ideas - entrepreneurial ideas which are built around openness, free services and free access.

Open business is designed to help the little guys along on their journey, to spread their ideas while creating revenues in the process.

In order to sustain a rich, innovative global community, access to information and ideas is paramount. The objective of the open business project is, therefore, to analyze and explain models by which people can share their knowledge and creativity with others, guided by the aligned incentives of profit, individual success, and societal advancement.

OpenBusiness is a collaboration between Christian Ahlert and his team at the Michael Young Foundation in the UK, Heather Ford and Kerryn McKay from the Link Centre in South Africa and Ronaldo Lemos from FGV Law School in Rio de Janeiro.

All partners are involved with Creative Commons in their respective countries, namely the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa.

The project is supported by the Open Society Institute, Arts Council England and IDRC in Canada.
