SUMMARY:The Sharing Economy: Reshaping the way we do business
DESCRIPTION:As is now a tradition and has been promised during the elaboration of the Committee 1 work programme\, Brussels Capital will host this year again a mutual learning event on a current and transversal topic. This year it will be the Sharing economy\, which will be in the spotlight. The event will be organised in cooperation with Catalonia. \nThe event will raise awareness on the evolution of the business landscapes. The collaborative and platform economy request new business models but also different types of support to citizens in their roles of entrepreneurs\, consumers\, workers. What does this mean for policy makers? Where can policymakers play a role? Why it is necessary to have a holistic approach? \nStakeholders from the private and public sector\, industry specialists\, entrepreneurs\, and policy makers will engage in genuine exchange. The idea is to share and discuss initiatives which can be implemented right away. A major asset of these events is to discover projects and initiatives and hear of stories first hand. In a setting where each participant is a contributor\, the event will highlight opportunities and points of action of the sharing economy. \nParticipants will:\n \n\nShare regional experiences on the development of the collaborative economy and how this is impacting areas as diverse as work\, education\, culture or health\nHear from different stakeholders what they see as threats and opportunities of the sharing economy\nExamine the role of regions: are there new roles emerging?\nDiscuss social and economic impacts\, needs in terms of policy making and fields for cooperation\nLearn about funding opportunities for regional stakeholders: both companies/ organisations & regional governments\nLearn about regional examples: presentations by companies from the sharing economy\n\nList of participants\nPresentations\n\nKeynote\, Lieza Dessein\, Project Manager SMart\nInformation on funding & support to the Sharing Economy\, Camille Lepinay\, NCP\n\nThe Sharing Economy in real life: meeting stakeholders from the Sharing Economy \n\nDimitri Berliner\, Communa\nFrançois Gerard\, Helpper\nLouise Carton\, Scooty\nDavid Vuylsteke\, PiggyBee\nXavier Marichal\, Usitoo\n\nOur photo album\n \n Agenda\n\n\n\n\n08:45\n\n\n  Registrations & Coffee\n\n\n\n\n09:15\n\n\n  Welcome\nMagnus Berntsson\, President AER\nJean Luc Vanraes\, President AER Committee 1\, Chair Working Group SMEs & Investments\nLluís Juncà\, General Director for Economic Promotion\, Competence and Regulation\, Generalitat de Catalunya\n\n\n\n09:30\n\n\nIntroduction\nThe European Commission’s view on the Sharing Economy \nHenning Ehrenstein\, Deputy Head of Unit\, E1 – Service Policy for Consumers\, DG Growth\, European Commission\n\n\n\n09:40\n\n\nKeynote: Inspiration\nLieza Dessein\, Project manager SMart\n\n\n\n 10:00\n\n\n Sharing experiences\nParallel discussion groups \n\n\nBusiness in a world of mega-changes\nHow to encourage entrepreneurship\, and support innovation?\nThe sharing economy represents a wide span of very different types of businesses\, spanning from very green and very social to large companies which can in some cases have predatory behaviours\nHow to help disrupted industries to change or to protect what needs to be safe-guarded.\nHow to support citizens in their roles of entrepreneurs\, consumers\, workers?\nWhat kind of support do businesses need?\n\n\nContributors:\n– Jean Luc Vanraes\, President AER Committee 1\, Chair Working Group SMEs & Investments\n– Mar Alarcón: CEO SocialCar\n– Camille Lepinay\, Enterprise Europe brussels\, EU-GIVE project\n– Philippe Eiselein\, Social Entrepreneurship\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel \nModerator: Aurora Sanz\, Lawyer Grant Thornton \n  \n\n\nSky’s the limit\, or is it?\nEthics: what is good\, what is desirable\, how to build open\, inclusive & cohesive societies?\nThe platform economy can support very positive initiatives but it could also multiply the impact of  organisations harming regional development\, social cohesion or inclusion: where to draw a line?\nThe platform economy is supported by technology\, how to ensure technology is inclusive and doesn’t amplify existing biases?\nWhat is fair?\nHow can the sharing economy contribute to territorial cohesion?\nTo define the role of regions it is essential to be able to identify first what is positive or negative for society. This requires dialogue with the different stakeholders of the sharing economy and citizens at large to avoid using old solutions for new challenges.\n\n\nContributors: \n– Víctor Moyano\, Fundación Creafutur\n– Xavier Marichal\, CEO of USITOO \n– Dimitri Berliner\, cofounder of Communa \nModerator: Albert Cañigueral\, Founder Consumo Colaborativo \n  \n\n\nTowards an uberisation of public services?\nThe role of governments and regions specifically: from regulation\, taxes and protection to collaboration\nWhat used to be a model disrupting only transports and tourism may soon drastically change the way we envision public services such as transports\, health and care or employment agencies. These changes reveal differences between rural and urban areas\, as well as differences between regions which invest significantly in public services and regions which experiment considerable gaps \nThe platform economy poses new challenges to governments in terms of taxation but also in terms of protection of citizens\, security or health. Different governments have taken steps to at the same time provide protection to workers and impose taxes. The disruption however goes further than taxes and insurances and involves changes in the very role of governments and the way they share information and collaborate with other entities.\nWhat kind of cooperation is possible between the public sector and the stakeholders of the platform economy?\n\nContributors:\n– regional representative\n– François Gerard\, Managing Director Helpper\n– Yves Muyters\, Project Manager KlaarIsKees\n– Mayo Fuster\, Dimmons director of research on collaborative economy\, Open University of Catalonia \n– Èlia Ferrer\, Public Affairs Manager\, mytaxi The Taxi App \nModerator: Anna Merino Castelló\, Economist\, Expert in competition\, better regulation and digital markets. \n  \n\n\nEducation & training\nPreparing tomorrow’s workforce for new business models & priorities\nThe world is changing and so is business.\nWhen the priority is on having access to and not owning\, how to enable citizens to invent and implement tomorrow’s services and products?\nHow do we ensure we are not creating obsolete workers?\nWhat are the skills and competences with high added value in this new context?\nWhere should the focus be in terms of education?\nWhat can be the lessons learnt from cooperatives\, which are a model that has been existing long before the platform economy?\n\n\nContributors:\n– regional representative\n– Lieza Dessein\, Project manager SMart\n– academic \nModerator: David Vuylsteke\, PiggyBee founder\n\n\n\n11:00\n\n\nCoffee Break\n\n\n\n\n11:45\n\n\nLet it grow!\nReports from the discussion groups: findings and proposals for action\n\n\n\n12:20\n\n\nInformation on funding & support to the Sharing Economy\nCamille Lepinay\, NCP Brussels\n\n\n\n 13:00\n\n\n Working and Networking Lunch\n\n\n\n\n15:00\n\n\nThe Sharing Economy In Real Life\nMeet companies from the Sharing Economies\n\n\n\n16:30\n\n\nEnd of the event\n\n\n\n\n17:00\n\n\nApéritif at La Chaloupe d’Or\, Grand Place\n\n\n\n\nList of participants\nPresentations\n\nKeynote\, Lieza Dessein\, Project Manager SMart\nInformation on funding & support to the Sharing Economy\, Camille Lepinay\, NCP\n\nThe Sharing Economy in real life: meeting stakeholders from the Sharing Economy \n\nDimitri Berliner\, Communa\nFrançois Gerard\, Helpper\nLouise Carton\, Scooty\nDavid Vuylsteke\, PiggyBee\nXavier Marichal\, Usitoo\n\nOur photo album\nhttps://www.flickr.com/gp/145789058@N05/6LgN71
