Uber se lance dans les hôtels… et c'est un plan génial

Uber is launching into hotels. • Subscribe to the podcast to listen: https://lnk.to/podcastromainlanery But behind this "simple feature" lies a formidable strategy to become THE global super app. I break it down and give you my predictions (including one about "Uber Bank"). In this solo live stream, I start with Uber's announcement (a partnership with Expedia to offer 700,000 hotels directly in the app) to dissect a true lesson in business strategy with you. How does an app that dominates one market (ride-hailing) set out to conquer all the others? Hotel bookings, delivery, groceries, AI assistant… Uber wants to become a "super app," a luxury concierge in your pocket. On the agenda: • Uber x Expedia: how it works (700,000 hotels, Uber One discount, loyalty points) • The "super app" strategy explained simply: capture a market, then diversify • My prediction: why I think "Uber Bank" will arrive in 5 to 8 years • The parallel with Apple: disrupting one market after another for 30 years • My take: why I think Expedia will get "shipped" (the Toys R Us / Amazon trap) • All of Uber's new AI features: natural language ordering, voice mode, Shop, concierge service • Booking, Trivago, Expedia: who survives the super app wars?
