Whoop whoop — it’s Christmas day! Enjoy everybody! Whether you’re joining in the celebrations or not, it’s just another Sunday. So as always, here’s another TIS Weekly. To sum up all three videos: working together is better + enabling communication tech + Blockchain update.

Theme | SHARING ECONOMY
Collaborative communities

Collaborative Cities is a worthwhile documentary featuring stories of people around the world who have come together to share resources, knowledge and/or facilities. Have you already heard of Park Slope Food Coop, KissKissBankBank or Not Far From The Tree? Explore these and even more cool sharing experiences!

Theme | SHARING ECONOMY
ICT at the heart

Tech companies form the backbone of the sharing economy world. They have to deal with issues of trust, security and communication. This panel discusses the enabling power of communication technology with speakers from companies such as Instacart, Twilio and Stripe.

Theme | FINANCE
Blockchain 101

When someone says: “After watching this video I finally understood what Blockchain is all about”, it’s definitely a video worth sharing with you guys. Let Matt Lucas, software engineer at IBM, get you up to speed on this difficult topic. A shout-out to @IpekUzpeder for adding the video!
