| ENTREPRENEURS IN TILBURG EMBRACE THE SHARING ECONOMY |
|
| | Whether we are talking about a circular economy or sharing economy, both have the same goal: less waste and more efficient use of things, materials or facilities that we already have. Since march this year, the business parks in Tilburg (Het Laar, Katsbogten, Kraaiven have their own B2B sharing platform: Parksharing. The sharing platform has been facilitated by Solaris Park Management, FLOOW2 and the municipality of Tilburg.
On the platform, entrepreneurs based on these business parks can purchase, rent, sell and/or lend out idle assets, residual materials, facilities, and other matters. This not only provides entrepreneurs with sustainable and social benefits, but also financial benefits! |

| RESEARCHING THE SOCIAL AND SUSTAINABLE IMPACT OF SHARING |
|
| | Sharing is a growing global phenomenon with the potential to dramatically impact the current economic paradigm and enhance sustainability in cities. But, the lack of evidence to support the sustainability promises and the limited theoretical understanding of their institutionalization pathways in different urban contexts, calls for a comprehensive analysis of urban sharing organizations and urban sharing phenomenon.
Last week we have met with Steven Curtis and Jagdeep Singh from Lund University, Sweden, who are researching exactly that. As one of the global leaders in putting the sharing economy into practice we are happy to contribute to their efforts.
By bridging the current gap between the market and academia we hope to contribute to the growing body of evidence, standarisation of output measurements and so stimulate the furthering of the sharing economy as a whole! |
