27. Some reflections and steps
FOR SOCIAL ECONOMY ACTORS
● Will need to explore innovation from startups at digital market levels
● Can provide more “membership” and less “usership” to sharing economy
● Pay attention to “real sharing” elements: open source and open data
FOR POLICY MAKERS
● Move from regulation to promotion of economic alternatives
● Forget the “unicorn” model and support coop values for incubation
● Support more dissemination, collaboration and research
