　　I’m frequently asked to define the Sharing Economy and decided it was high time to pen the definitive answer. The Sharing Economy is a socio-economic ecosystem built around the sharing of human, physical and intellectual resources. It includes the shared creation, production, distribution, trade and consumption of goods and services by different people and organizations.

　　People are at the heart of a Sharing Economy; it is a People’s Economy. The participants of a Sharing Economy are individuals, communities, companies, organizations and associations, all of whom are deeply embedded in a highly efficient sharing system, to which all contribute and benefit from. These are the most important features of a Sharing Economy.

　　In a Sharing Economy, production is open and accessible to those who wish to produce. Internet technologies and networks enable the development of products and services in a collective manner, transcending geographical boundaries. 3D printing offers a more local production of goods, shortening supply chains and increasing efficiency and access.

　　In a Sharing Economy, value is seen not purely as financial value, but wider economic, environmental and social value. The Sharing Economy is based on both material and non-material or social rewards and encourages the most efficient use of resources.

　　Instead of being viewed as resource in the wrong place, waste has value. A Sharing Economy enables ‘waste’ to be reallocated where it is needed and valued. The system uses technology to re-distribute or trade unused or ‘sleeping’ assets, generating value for people, communities and companies. Being a member of a car club, for example, and paying for what you use, is seen as preferable and smarter than bearing the cost, burden, resource wastage and idling capacity of ownership.

　　A Sharing Economy puts both people and planet at the heart of the economic system. Value creation, production and distribution operate in harmony with the available natural resources, not at the expense of the planet, promoting the flourishing of human life within environmental limits. Environmental responsibility, including the burdens of environmental damage, are shared; among people, organizations, and national governments.

　　In a Sharing Economy, information and knowledge is shared, open and accessible. Communications are distributed; knowledge and intelligence are widely accessible, easily obtained and can be used by different individuals, communities or organizations in different ways for different purposes. Technology and social networks enable the flow of communications and support the sharing of information. This system promotes easily accessible education of a high level, enabling everyone to access the information, skills and tools they need to succeed.

　　Whilst the Sharing Economy is currently in its infancy, this is only the beginning. In its entirety and potential it is a new and alternative socio-economic system which embeds sharing and collaboration at its heart – across all aspects of social and economic life.

　　Thank you all for being here tonight.

　　This evening is an opportunity for Britain and China to come together. A chance to identify our shared ambitions, our mutual strengths and the opportunities we have to work together to shape the future of global trade. But, first and foremost, we are here tonight to celebrate the upcoming GREAT Festival of Innovation. The festival, which will take place in March just a few miles away in Hong Kong, will bring together some of the UK and Asia’s most pioneering companies. It will be a gathering like no other - an opportunity to share innovations that will drive the future of free trade and for businesses to build lifelong partnerships. It is this spirit of friendship and commonality that I wish to speak to you about tonight.

　　It is fitting that this evening we are gathered in Shenzhen, a city with innovation in its DNA. Shenzhen, as the technological capital of China, is the engine room that will power China in the age of the fourth industrial revolution. In a matter of decades, Shenzhen has transformed from a small fishing village into a dynamic and youthful city with a population of more than 11 million. Much of this success has been down to this city’s dynamism, and its dedication to technical advancement.

　　With research and development investment accounting for 4% of GDP – double the national average – and patent applications standing at the highest in China for 10 consecutive years, it cannot be denied that we stand in a city that is unapologetically focused on the future. Across this city, some of the world’s most talented minds are coming together to design tomorrow’s technology. Shenzhen is a world-leading producer of drones, electric cars and DNA sequencing machines. It is clear that this city has much to offer the world.

　　But I am here this evening to talk about what the United Kingdom can offer Shenzhen. Yesterday, I had several hours of constructive and positive talks with Commerce Minister Zhong Shan where we discussed the opportunities that result from the complementary nature of our economies. Technology is clearly one but there are others. Another lies in food and drink. China will need to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of quality foodstuffs available for its growing population and especially its burgeoning middle class.

　　Britain will want to ensure better and more predictable incomes for our farmers as we leave the EU so that we can attract investment and improve productivity. We must work together in the months ahead to ensure that we address any concerns that Chinese authorities have so that the Chinese people can enjoy the benefits that quality UK beef, lamb and poultry can bring. Our already growing exports of food and drink can improve further with the lifting of market access barriers. There is a great opportunity to be ambitious about our future trading relationship to the benefit of both sides.

　　We will continue to explore all our options together. When the UK voted in 2016 to leave the European Union, there were many around the world that portrayed the result as a symptom of insularity. They predicted that Britain would be turning in on itself, abdicating its international responsibilities and severing global ties. I am here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.

　　Instead, last year’s referendum vote to leave the European Union has offered us an unprecedented opportunity. For the first time in more than 4 decades, we have the opportunity to forge new trading partnerships around the world, with old friends and new allies alike. We are building a Global Britain – a country that champions commercial freedoms, prizes international talent, and helps the world’s most dynamic and innovative enterprises to reach their potential.
