Digitaleducation

Provide teachers with new information and better tools for professional development. Open platforms should enable teachers to update each other. Help teachers to collaborate more and

more, share knowledge with each other. Provide them with open platforms that make collaboration easier. Teachers need to add to their traditional teach-ing skills new skills (introductive coding classing in elementary schools, teachers should be in a continuative learning circle); Teachers should at-tend mandatory courses to enhance their knowl-edge of the digital world both on a technical lev-

-dent in dealing with uncertainty and get ready for it. Another point is also to make the “Buyers”

-ic needs. Create advisor teams to enable schools to make appropriate choices.

Digitaleconomy

Create a single EU regulatory framework for innovative companies enabled by an online platform, which standardiz-es all the activities regarding company management across the whole

lifecycle from early stage to growth. This framework will aim to:-Simplify the process of setting-up a company, make it faster, cheaper and accepted across Europe.-Standardize the governance and simplify work for equity.-Introduce European tax incentive for invest-ment.-Standardize regulation with regard to employment rules and contracts-Standardize regulations on M&A and IPOs processes.-Support the adoption of the whole framework via a single access online portal, where companies could directly execute all activities related to the establishment and the manage-ment of the company

EU COMMON FRAMEwork

Money is the fuel for the digital econ-omy to grow. Yet we do have a struc-

Europe. Currently 10x less Venture Capital is available in the EU com-

pared to the US. This hinders EU startups to grow quickly and scale to a large size that can com-pete with US counterparts.We propose two solutions to allocate more cap-ital to the digital economy: 1) More private money: Goverments can create

changing rules for large institutional investors to allocate small shares of their assets to ven-ture capital. 2) Allocating EU funds to the digital economy: In order to leverage existing funding the ECB could set up a “Side Car Fund” to match every 1 EUR in-vested by a private investor with another 1 EUR.

One Click Government Accountability by design

Politicians have no longer a choice: their work must be open, participatory and an-swerable by design. Any citizen can hold accountable elected representatives any time. House of cards is dead. We

have to reinvent how we approach the political process. Public administrations shall no longer govern only on behalf of citizens, but also with citizens. This provides a great source of energy, talent, resources, capabilities and fresh ideas. Under the threat of direct democracy, electoral democracy no longer sells. The future is partic-ipatory democracy. This is operationalized by

media platforms and plenty of apps. Imagine an intuitive and public platform drawn to con-nect and share data, decisions, resources, costs, problems with other thousands of persons, with bridging and bonding activities. Governments and public administrations have to become platforms enabling citizens to act as co-deci-sion-makers in the local, national and European decision-making process.

Digitaljobs

Pension-security barriers prevent digital professionals from moving internation-ally within the EU. The EU should imple-ment a pan-European pension scheme that covers international mobility within

the EU. On a larger scale this eliminates frictions in the digital job market and decreases labor costs to companies who want to recruit interna-tionally.

From knowledge based curricula to

Two way communication between private sector (equal access to start-ups and larg-er companies) and education to close the mismatch of students ending school and not having the right education: Schools

should produce what the market needs Discussion between curricula and what the em-ployment market needs. Address the issue of un-employment + the paradox of 900.000 ICT jobs that will be available. Promote the dialog between start-ups and the education system: big corpora-

Pilots should be run and then data about experimental policies should be shared with other schools and school systems across EU. Governments often im-plement programs without experimenting their reforms. Anyway Decentralization is still the main approach to manage education in each country.Make agreement on common European goals rather than on execution plans that need to be local relevant.

Digitalcities

Integrating the point of view of the

metropolis with the one of the rural

communities.

Looking at the digitization process by inte-

grating the point of view of the metropolis

with the one of the rural communities, may

provide important keys to rethink critically

the dynamics of social, economic, cultural

and digital mechanisms, to identify new prospects

for sustainability in the interactive, collaborative

era of the infosphere.

In this perspective the digital cities can’t be treat-

ed separately from the developments in the inter-

nal and rural areas which, through terminations of

the infosphere project become a critical element

to rethink the development of new models.

SMART URBAN RURALITY

ENERGY COMMUNITY

Energy is a priority and citizens should be

involved in taking the best decisions about

choosing how to produce and consume

energy in their own city.

Change in business model is necessary for

utilities and DSO to take advantage from Energy

Communities: they should adopt an “ESCo ap-

proach”, i.e. invest in the technology necessary to

create the Energy Community and sell energy and

cities will reduce costs for citizens, reduce energy

consumption and minimize air pollution.

Citizens take integrated choices

regarding energy production and

consumption in the city.

Cities should be the experimental lab

to test public utility initiatives.

Good results could be extended to the

whole states as well. There are many

Approving the digital signature and allowing people to make online payments with credit cards could make bureaucratic steps quicker.

Access to all the info about governments spending and processes.

It is important for the government to provide spending transparency as is citizens opportu-nity to feel where the money goes. People can be more engaged in paying all tax-es when they know exactly where their money

goes. Government can provide some information pages where they inform about the balance in a simple way. When goverment will be more open people can trust more in them and support the sometimes hard decisions they need to make. Openness can help both sides of the table.

Civic Hacking Labs

This project has two main goals: create starting from school, a civic consciousness

order to be prepared to vote at the age of 18, and increase knowledge and therefore

active participation to political life. There are two main pillars on which this labs are built: Work-shops. This means that students from secondary to high schools are equally involved with a horizontal approach. Teachers just act as facilitators, by mod-erating discussions among students and collecting the main feedbacks that come out. These feed-backs will be shared on a digital platform, where students will also be asked to rate the best ideas and just one proposal per school will be selected and brought to the politicians attention.

Citizens become part of governance by playing a direct role in local, state and international decisions.

uropean decision-making process puts at the center the active participation of Citi-zens, enabled by platforms to interact with Administrations. As of today, decisions are taken by Government and Administrations.

Citizens either fully delegate decision power or maintain some consultative role. In Digital Democ-racy, this situation is almost reverted. In a selected number of key decision processes, Citizens play a central active role. Cooperative platforms enable moderated and focused discussion between par-ties. Citizens become accountable for decisions. Accountability is declared and made visible to all parties. Governments and Administrations must inform Citizens and lead to decisions aligned with compliance and international rules.
