The Collaborative Economy: How to regulate and stimulate a new economic paradigm

This event will look at which policies public authorities can implement to optimise the collaborative economy for consumers and companies.

Background

Every day entrepreneurs create new collaborative solutions to address ecological and socio-economic challenges.  These solutions can affect things such as consumption, production, financing and knowledge.

Through co-working, cooperatives, fablabs and crowdfunding platforms, new economic activities are created thanks to the collaborative economy.  They generate employment and impact society in terms of organisation, lack of intermediaries, encouraging innovation, and reducing the ecological footprint on sustainable development.
