<H3>What is the Sharing Economy?</H3>
Anything not being used, can be hired out via an online platform that minimizes direct contact between the supplier and the customer. Two very well-known sharing economy ventures are Airbnb and Uber--the first, connects people who are looking for a place to stay with people who have an open accommodation, and the latter, connects people who are looking for transportation with people who have available vehicles.
However, the sharing economy is not limited to accommodation and taxis, and the worldwide market is estimated to reach $110 billion within the next few years. The sharing economy is about designing experiences, rather than products. 
The trend towards sharing also impacts the insurance industry, especially short-term insurance, and insurers are reexamining how they conduct their businesses in the new sharing economy.
Being successful in the sharing economy means building a business model that’s based on trust, authenticity, and transparency. Our hackers will be using chatbots, drones, VR/AR, or AI/Machine Learning to create solutions to the challenges provided by our corporate insurance partners.
