Nordic Freelance and Future of Work Innovation Summit
This was a one-day event packed with Keynotes, Panels and Sessions dedicated to the workstyle of today covering the Blended workforce, Project-based employment and Open talent.
We also heard from the public and private sectors on innovation, as well as new products and services.
Check out the dedicated page on this site for more details.
We teamed up with SME Europe and the European People's Party to hold an event at their annual party congress on SMEs and the Future of Work.
Online platforms are central in the digital transition of economies and societies, and the pandemic has strengthened their role. However, SMEs face challenges and risks in operating on online platforms. The lack of digital skills and the need to adapt business models can pose significant barriers. There are also risks related to digital security, competition distortion and possible lock-in effects. The event therefore brought together politicians, policy and industry experts, in order to create an open dialogue and exchange on learnings and further ideas with regards to the challenges and opportunities for SMEs as regards to platform work.
The Business Forum was dedicated to the "Tech for Good" topic and connected politicians, industry leaders, innovators, and change-makers to take a deep dive into new forms of cooperation; highlight cutting-edge technologies that foster progress; and create sustainable solutions which support the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We led a session on “Innovating for society: When business meets purpose.” This looked at how businesses create additional value for society by driving sustainable projects.
