The platform economy – today and tomorrow

The only constant in life, is change. Only, in today’s world, the speed of change is changing. And where for some this means a threat, to others this brings major opportunities. So what do these changes and opportunities mean for e-commerce and the classifieds business? Data, cloud and machine learning create relevant personal experiences and make consumers increasingly successful. New technologies also change the way people make decisions. Barriers for trade are disappearing quickly, enabled by technology. In this session, Elke and Annemarie will explain how technology is the engine of the platform economy and how it enables 2dehands.be to become increasingly efficient in linking consumers with consumers, but also in linking consumers with businesses.
