2 #Edito COLLABORATING AND BUILDING THE SOCIETY OF THE FUTURE We are living in a changing world that is full of uncertainties, and therefore opportunities. As an 80s baby, my routine as a child and young adult had nothing to do with the way Millennials now envision life. Whether they are at work or at home, the concepts of sharing, collaborating and therefore caring, have now become some of their main drivers in life. For the benefit of all of us. A little more than a decade ago, we still had to go to the bank to sign up for a credit card, needed to look through the shelves to find the «flyest» sneakers and actually just wanted to hit the court for a friendly, yet competitive, pick-up game of basketball. Nowadays everything’s tech: finance, art, fashion and even sports. Did you know that the most famous e-Sports «athletes» are getting paid more than a pretty decent soccer or basketball player 30 years ago? Some banks are not dealing with payments anymore and are relying on innovative tech startups. Robots have replaced humans in many factories for several good reasons: safety, productivity, efficiency and more. Nowadays, data is the cornerstone of most innovations and notably enables the creation of autonomous cars that will soon hit the road. According to most experts, the future holds no limits. These technologies are the results of mathematics, science and human creativity, which we need to cherish and encourage at all levels, from the youngest of age, to the workplace and even after retirement, to stay alert and «à la page». These transformations are also made possible thanks to the collaboration between all counterparts, which allows the creation of powerful ecosystems. We witnessed the creation of the first Peer 2 Peer solutions in the early 2000s, with consumers illegally sharing music and movies. We later saw the rise of the sharing economy with the advent of unicorns such as Uber and Airbnb, which provide customers with innovative solutions without actually owning cars and hotels, but leverage the goodwill of drivers and hosts. These solutions are all advocating the mutualization of resources. Currently, companies are favoring coopetition in order to push themselves forward and develop neverseen-before products and services. Luxembourg, with its small and yet dynamic environment, but also with the support of public institutions and its government, is well-equipped to lead the way in our digital future.
