In the fourth edition of the Antenna for Social Innovation, the focus was on the most fascinating and, at the same time, the most controversial transformation taking place in the economy: the so-called sharing economy. The latter refers to a series of practices which, with the growth of internet, the rise of smartphones, social media and AI advances –and the latter’s ability to process vast quantities of data at minimal cost and at an ever faster pace–, are destined to revolutionise our societies. We refer to “societies” in the broadest sense, because the new wave of developments in the digital economy is not only changing the economic aspects of our lives; it is also transforming our work and fiscal systems, educational and urban planning models and the way we consume and even interact with each other. We are facing, without doubt, a profound transformation.
