WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER

European transition must be seen as an urgent, radical, symbiotic and global change, and tackle environmental, social and technological issues. In this prospect, we believe the European Union has to make digital transition and social innovators scale up a priority for the next term of office, by increasing exchanges between Social innovators and the European Technology sector with clear quantitative and qualitative objectives.

We count on the next Members of the EU Parliament, the Commissioners and the Member States to :

Promote the solutions provided by social innovation in innovation circles and accelerate it with the help of technological tools.
Have social and environmental innovation recognized as equal to technological innovation, as it is a transversal and systemic form
Facilitate/accelerate skills exchange and co-innovation between technical skills holders and social and environmental skills holders.

All Together, Tech actors and social innovators, we can promote these proposals towards candidates for the next European elections in 2019

Reason

TECH IS BROKEN

Education, climate change, migrations : humanity is facing great challenges that cannot be met by technological progress alone. The European Union, once a model of cooperation between peoples, peaceful and socially efficient political construction, is losing ground.

To be revived, the European project must be exemplary if it wants to really achieve becoming the champion in the fight against climate and societal upheavals and propose an efficient alternative model in the existing « Tech War » between the American and Chinese giants.

Social sciences and social innovation experts are ahead of the curve and need to be supported in skills and funded by profitable sectors. Social innovation is a European asset for creating local and sustainable jobs.

By breaking down the barriers between the worlds of technology and social innovation, sharing skills, practicing true collective intelligence, we can find quick solutions and rebuild a solid European model, an alternative to the Silicon Valley priorities, which creates shared value.
