New ways of producing and new forms of employment have been emerging and proliferating in recent years, which seem to challenge the traditional business models and the relationship of individuals to enterprise and entrepreneurship. This is to present concrete examples of this new organization of production (factory of the future, collaborative processes), employment and entrepreneurship (3D printing, fablab).

17h30-18h15 : EU-regions: which common responses to developments of entreprises? 

The EU has just defined new rules and new programmes to support innovation and development in the regions. A lot of money is being spent. Are these rules adapted to the new practices and organizations of enterprises and entrepreneurs? How to improve the relationship between the EU and regional stakeholders to ensure the effectiveness of these programmes (H2020, Structural Funds ...)?
