ENTHUSIASTIC NEWCOMERS AT NRCLIVE
The NRC Live event that shareNL co-hosted last week was a good opportunity to become fully immersed
in the collaborative economy: especially for newcomers. Which is why it makes sense that the names of
two certain big platforms in the collaborative economy (we think you know who) were mentioned over
and over again. But isn’t the collaborative economy more than these two giants? Luckily, throughout the
day a large variety of other platforms were discussed. New insights, going beyond the platforms that set
the stage, were presented (you can find our key learnings here, and the pictures of the day here). We are
glad to see that there were so many collaborative economy enthusiasts - both experts and new players in
the field - and that the debate about challenges and opportunities has evolved enough to not just stick

impact (and see all videos of the event!).
EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE. That is the number of things Niels Baljet owns. This got
him thinking: what if we could design a whole new city that expands as we share - enabling us to own
less but access more? Read more about this intriguing TU Delft graduation project
