10. 3 Key Takeaways
Sharing economy = efficiency in asset utilization.
The drivers tech (on-demand platforms); trust (scaling
in UX & business models)
Sharing is about physical spaces (buildings, real
estate), products (tools, things) and about creating a
means to share our most valuable assets – ourselves
(services, tasks)
The so-called Sharing economy is driven by
people, across the globe .. And that leads to the next
part of my story

16. In Context: The Expert
”Expect growth but in supply and
demand for independent workers in the
next 5 years. Even more individuals will
become independent micro-
entrepreneurs due to the autonomy,
control and flexibility independence
provides – or simply because it’s their
best or only option in the new economy
