Collaborative Economy & Blockchain

Another meetup is on its way: the first of a chain of special meetups in 2017!

The blockchain and the collaborative (sharing) economy are undeniably intertwined. That's why this evening we will discuss what could possibly be the next level of the sharing economy: a blockchain-enabled, true peer-to-peer paradigm of abundance.

Will the blockchain live up to its promise of an efficient and transparent distribution of power and wealth? Or will this technology eventually be institutionalized and centralized to benefit a few?

Join the conversation and share your ideas, but first of all be inspired by our speakers, all experts in the field or startups experimenting with sharing and blockchain. There will also be some of the teams that participated in the Dutch Blockchain Hackathon last February in Groningen. You don´t want to miss this event!

This year, the meetups all have a common thread: THE FUTURE. What does this entail? Technology, decentralization, and a lot of sharing/collaborative economy.

Themes and dates for future Meetups are already set, so check you agenda:

March 2nd: 'Collaborative Economy & Blockchain.'

June 2017: 'Collaborative Economy & Internet of Things.'

September 2017: 'Collaborative Economy & Artificial Intelligence.'

December 2017: 'Collaborative Economy & Robots.'

For those newcomers to our project that have read all the above and are still wondering, what is a shareNL Meetup?

Our Meetups are a nice opportunity to discuss about the collaborative/sharing economy in a laid back scenario. Meetups are intended to help ideas to flow with ease within a convivial and relaxed atmosphere; they are known for being informative but personal and relaxed. The event is two hours plus there´s always drinks afterwards.
