Collaboration in the shared economy is key

These days we don’t stop to think about how the shared economy has transformed our lives because it’s just part of the way we do things. We Uber around towns and cities, we AirBnB when we visit new places - the shared economy has become part of the lexicon of our lives. For entrepreneurs and innovative startups with vision, it has also opened up minds to opportunities that would once have seemed impossible - being able to take on and revolutionize traditional industry and business sectors. And we can thank those early disruptors, the pioneers who created the whole notion of the shared economy and who introduced real and edgy competition to traditional industries through technology. It is also a reminder that behind these game-changing disruptive businesses were highly collaborative entrepreneurs, sharing their knowledge, technical expertise, insights and ambitions. They drove each other to get things done, to push boundaries, to try new things, to challenge established thinking. Collaboration in the shared economy is creating a new business landscape in which entrepreneurs can challenge the status quo, and in doing so, change the world we live in. It’s a great time to be a collaborative entrepreneur.
