WHAT IS THE SHARING ECONOMY?
The Sharing Economy enables private people to share anything they own through
technology, let it be products, knowledge or services, with other private people around
them. Users are usually remunerated through a reward, swap, money or a digital currency
creating a platform for micro-entrepreneurs in a local peer economy.
The sharing economy is disrupting every industry, from hospitality, to mobility or
gastronomy. It is a gamechanging mental shift from a society focused on consumption to
a society valuing access more than ownership.

necessity
