About us

Philosophy

The mobility and energy transitions shaped our philosophy of sharing. Five years ago, the puzzle pieces fell into place and we developed the Good Sharing philosophy. Today, it’s more relevant than ever.

Brands

We believe in strong brands, led by strong entrepreneurs and inspiring leaders. Specialists who work together within The Sharing Group to push the most complex transitions forward.

Organisation

The way we are organised reflects our Good Sharing vision. With deliberate choices, we show there’s another way: we are a steward-owned network organisation. All our customers are shareholders. And we successfully finance ourselves with our own bond issues.

to use to happy mass to dynamic to decentralized to long-term impact to open source

By sharing (neighborhood) batteries, electric cars, and bikes, not every citizen needs to own the latest technology in order to benefit from it.

We accelerate transitions by making smart technology accessible to the happy mass, instead of subsidizing it only for the happy few.

When everyone manages energy and mobility dynamically, we can quickly overcome both grid congestion and clogged cities and roads.

Decentralization works faster in the long run. That’s why we believe in local power generation, neighborhood batteries, tailor-made car-sharing systems, and small-scale decentralized data centers.

Major transitions require people who dare to invest in long-term impact — municipalities, businesses, and citizens alike.

“Don’t just work open source, be open source.” Only by collaborating transparently can we truly accelerate change.
