The Goa Project 2018

We propose an interactive session to discuss the pros and cons of the sharing economy and how sharing can be promoted. We would also introduce share-pa.com, a platform, developed by the speakers, for peer-to-peer sharing. The platfrom connects lenders and borrowers and assists in keeping track of the items shared. As the website is in the beta-testing phase, we would like to get feedback from the participants on the platform, on our ideas for increasing adoption and brainstorm on the challenges and potential solutions.
