Crowdsourcing is the practice of engaging a crowd or group for a common goal often innovation, problem solving, or efficiency.

It is powered by new technologies, social media and web 2.0. Crowdsourcing can take place on many different levels and across various industries. Thanks to our growing connectivity, it is now easier than ever for individuals to collectively contribute whether with ideas, time, expertise, or funds to a project or cause. This collective mobilization is crowdsourcing.
