Sharing is linked with the concept of a democratic access – and then utilization – to all kinds of resources, from physical tools to data and, even better, to ideas and individuals’ insights.

The possibility of sharing improves an effective distribution of common resources (meeting room, projector, corporate car…). In a more general acceptation of the term, the availability to ideas or previous solutions useful for different use is an advantage that make co-creation of new knowledge and a healthy circulation of knowledge possible.
