The global digital marketplace is progressing into a new era characterized by the Sharing Economy, in which almost every possible commodity can be purchased, sold or shared online.
Dozens of startups and established businesses are getting into this new economy and Peer-to-peer (P2P) markets enabled by new e-commerce platforms are emerging. These companies do not keep their own inventory. Instead, they rely on evolving technologies to connect online users to share and co-create resources for on-demand delivery services, resulting in huge business potential.
According to recent findings from PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the Sharing Economy is expected to generate revenues of up to US$335 billion by 2025, and its impact is predicted to affect nearly every industry. What impact will this have on Hong Kong’s business in the near future? And is your company prepared for the next wave of challenges, especially when the Sharing Economy is shaping our future faster than ever before?
Organized by HKIRC, the 7th Digital Marketplace Seminar(DMP) themed the “Sharing Economy – Opportunities and Threats”, provides an opportunity for local business, SMEs, industry pioneers and participants to exchange views and get first-hand market knowledge. This year, we will discuss the emerging trends of the Sharing Economy, its opportunities and threats and key technological developments driving the marketplace.
