Denmark wants to rebrand part ofSweden as 'Greater Copenhagen'

Denmark hopes incorporating southern Swedish region of Skåne will gain theregion more business and visitors. “Size matters,” says Frank Jensen, mayor ofCopenhagen and a champion of the project. Copenhagen is a small capital citybut with a well known name internationally, he says. “As Greater Copenhagenwe can show it is something special – it is about creating a common identitythat the entire region can get behind, and the Skåne region will also strengthenits position by profiling itself in this way.” The Danes call it a collaboration and are counting on Swedish support. Growthin east Denmark and south Sweden is significantly lower than in competingcities such as Stockholm, Amsterdam or Hamburg, notes an official Danishdocument setting out a vision of Greater Copenhagen as a European metropolis,with the “international clout” to become a magnet for investment andinnovation. “Together we will have 3.8 million people, 11 universities with 150,000 studentsand many PhDs, so we will come up as an interesting place to locate yourEuropean or Scandinavian HQ,” says Jensen. The two sides make a good fit.Denmark’s capital is overcrowded, corporate and expensive, while Malmö,Sweden’s third city across the water, has spare capacity, is relatively cheap, andhas more of an enterprise economy. But Swedes feel somewhat ambiguous about being nominally subsumed bytheir Danish neighbours. “I do not feel in the current situation that we areprepared to leave Malmö behind,” the city’s social democratic mayor, KatrinStjernfeldt Jammeh, said. “Skåne is comparable to San Francisco’s Bay Area interms of its food, wine, creative industries and science,” Johansson says, “andthe Scandinavia Bay Area has the advantage of being a more neutral name, andmore easily accepted in southern Sweden.

5‘Ouishare': Sharing andCollaborative networkWork as we know is being profoundly transformed at an ever increasing speed. This holds great opportunities and risks: thegood news is that robots will soon do routine work for us, but the bad news is that the loss of these jobs could increase in socialtensions, especially in underdeveloped countries. What will happen to work after the 4th industrial revolution? This is a key topic

that will be explored at OuiShare Fest 2016

The word ‘sharing’ is becoming a new buzz word of our time.Almost all nations of the world are developing new sets ofsocial political frameworks using digital technologies.OuiShare Fest 2016 is one of those initiatives from Paris,France that fosters exchange of knowledge to createmeaningful value for the people, planet and projects. The eventruns for three days, and this year it is being held at “The Village”of the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris. One of the key hallmarks ofthe festival was to accelrate three incredible open sourceprojects involving the attendees and experts. Ouishare team has carefully selected three projects amongmany applicants to receive the feedback from experts andattendees of the FEST. The goal was to leverage theparticipants’ collective intelligence to help the projects havea more positive impact. Pioneers and settlers this May embarks on a journey to stepout of their comfort zone and connect with others dedicatedto driving systemic change. DISCOVER THE PROJECTS Low Tech Lab is a collaborative research platform about lowtechnologies. It aims to build a worldwide community ofinventors who create and share knowledge in areas such asenergy and nutrition. Part-up is a platform for matching people to temporary teams.It helps participants to find and build the best tribe from withinor without the boundaries of organizations. It promotesdecentralization and bottom-up collaboration for start-ups,communities and companies. Science4Sustainability is a platform that helps to link scienceand business. It connects experts and scientists to socialentrepreneurs by promoting their stories online. MAKING SENSE OF TECHNOLOGY In the end, neither the technology nor the disruption thatcomes with it is a magical force over which humans have nocontrol. All of us are responsible for guiding its evolution, inthe decisions we make on a daily basis, we all are economicalagents as citizens, consumers, producers, investors,educators and entrepreneurs. As Esko Kilpi, says that “work that humans do used to be arole, now it is a task, but it is going to be a relationship". Themission is to see action within relationships.”
