TradeWise

Motivation

Staying in Germany we had experience that international and Erasmus students have to buy a lot of stuff when they move to new country, as they are for short time period and can’t carry all stuff back to their home when going back. TradeWise will help them to exchange their usable items with other items or services. TradeWise also helps to know your neighbors, people in your community and cultivates a better connected and warming way to interact and get the things that you want. TradeWise is a hope to bring a large-scale behavioral change in the way our society consumes material goods and bring back the Resource sharing ethics that are built on the vitality of Sharing Economy.

Concept

Our concept for TradeWise is to provide people a platform where they can save their money just by trading items that they no longer needed. We have come up with another unique concept of exchanging Product with a service. Like tutoring someone in exchange with a fine bottle of wine.
