"Notwithstanding that the next wave of innovation will not be unprecedented, there still could be negative impacts that policymakers need to prepare for and seek to mitigate. However, there will also be benefits, something 'fourth industrialists' usually ignore. Most importantly, the next wave will raise productivity growth rates. European productivity has been growing at anaemic rates for years, and in the UK it has virtually ceased. Without productivity growth to create a 'bigger pie' there is no way for European living standards to increase, especially given that the working age to old person ratio will drop from 3.5 today to 2.2 by 2040. But this does not mean that there may not be some negative impacts from the next wave of innovation. However, most of these fears are unwarranted and the main one, job dislocation, can and should be addressed by smart policies."

Innovation, économie collaborative et digital du point de vue de l'assurance.

"s the history of crises has shown, people and people-based organisations react against the devastating effects of changes and persist in the search for innovative solutions. New ideas and practices have been proposed; there have been experiments with new forms of organizations and ways of working. Some of them, such as the "sharing economy", were immediately captured by emergent, digitally-based capitalist companies, but others created more ambitious and innovative initiatives. In recent years, certain concepts and experiences have interconnected with one another and existing initiatives. New forms of solidarity, reciprocity, property and collective governance are being analyzed, reimagined and promoted through the logic of the Commons, Platform Cooperativism and the Social and Solidarity Economy."

"Si la révolution numérique fait l'objet d'une attention sérieuse en France depuis peu, on doit remarquer que l'intérêt se porte en priorité sur les menaces pour l'emploi des qualifications peu élevées. Par contre très peu d'études et encore moins de préconisations sont dirigées vers le coeur de l'industrie à savoir sa capacité à créer de la nouveauté et à innover."

"what do we mean with 'sharing economy'? What kind of positive innovations or possible criticalities might this socio-economic model bring?

In which areas, and how, is the way of doing business in society changing as a result of the diffusion of 'sharing economies'?"

"Platform-to-business trading practices About Online platforms Policies News Events Funding Consultations Reports and studies Laws Related topics Audiovisual & Media Services Cybersecurity Digitising European Industry Next Generation Internet PAGE CONTENTS Useful links The European Commission aims at promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services. Platforms offer unparalleled efficiencies in terms of access to cross-border consumer markets and have become the go-to interface for millions of successful firms. While the gateway position of online platforms enables them to organise ecosystems of millions of users, it also opens a scope for certain unilateral trading practices that are harmful, and against which no effective redress is available for the businesses using these platforms. Both direct harms to businesses, as well as the mere scope for such harm, undermine the innovation potential of platforms, which is exacerbated by emerging legal fragmentation. The Commission therefore announced in its mid-term review of the Digital Single Market Strategy that it would deliver concrete actions on unfair contracts and trading practices in platform-to-business relations. This commitment to safeguard a fair, predictable, sustainable and trusted business environment in the online economy was confirmed in President Juncker's 2017 State of the Union address. Delivering on this commitment, the Commission proposed on 26 April 2018 an EU Regulation on fairness and transparency together with the creation of an Observatory on the online platform economy. The proposal was underpinned by an impact Assessment that incorporates evidence and stakeholders' views collected during a two-year fact-finding exercise."
