Digital Kiosks is a European network for the deployment of sharing stations to create more sustainable and liveable communities.
Sharing stations are creating a new seamless experience to share and access goods in the city. Through connected lockers, citizens can access the goods they need, directly where they need it. This reduces the need to purchase unnecessary equipment.
They can be found in indoor environments such as building lobbies, libraries, local shops and office buildings and in outdoor environments such as parks, public squares, playgrounds and beaches.
Public authorities and housing providers have the opportunity to activate and claim spaces for communities to bond through sharing.
Digital Kiosks facilitates the sustainable implementation of sharing stations by working with public authorities, housing providers, sharing station providers, brand manufacturers and researchers. We support our members in the planning, deployment and evaluation of sharing stations.
Our vision is to become a central actor to build local ecosystems for the deployment of sharing stations and establish robust public-private partnerships.
We are organising a second acceleration programme in September - October 2024 to help managers of cities and housing providers to understand the basics of the sharing economy and its link to different public policies, deep dive into sharing services and their business models, and explore their role in providing the physical, digital and social infrastructure for more sharing in the city.

We are collaborating with 25+ cities across Europe to deploy sharing stations. We are helping public authorities to strategise the access economy and structure ecosystems around it with local stakeholders.
