Amazing insights and thought provoking ideas on the crowd economy stormed Brussels today. International and national speakers and thought leaders presented their respective keynotes on the best practices of crowdsourcing in the consumer, corporate, and community perspectives. Here’s a pick of some of my favourite tweets!

Capping today’s theme, “Crowd Finance and Crowd Innovation,” here are the top tweets and quotable lines in the crowd economy that we have scouted using #CSWEurope15 hashtag.

“Only 1/5 #startups are alive after 5 years” – Yvan De Cock @BNPPFBelgique #CSWEurope15 #CSWeek2015

How do you become smart as a city? Data, data and more data is key. @aturtelboom #smartcities #csweurope15

The shift from centralization to decentralization is important bc you can work very closely with the population @ATurtelboom #CSWEurope15

“Goverments love start-ups, but investors love profits” Alessandro Lerro #CSWEurope15

“Crowdfunding simply digitilized the collection of love money. Nothing new. Even Shakespeare presold tickets to finance plays.” #CSWEurope15

“We live in a new world where the borders are just in our head.” – @xdamman on the #startup voice in policy making #csweurope15

Biggest risk for reward-based #crowdfunding? Remaining too small. To really matter, big players must get involved @aburgot #CSWEurope15

.@aburgot @ulule: #Crowdfunding is not just creating customers, but ambassadors. Use it to test, engage + communicate #csweurope15

The biggest risk for rewardbased #crowdfunding: to become the #teleshopping of the 21st century @ulule #CSWEurope15

@Robbb85 What works when engaging your community? Timing, relevancy and the purposefullness

From a centralized to a decentralized world now it’s approaching the distributed system @xdamman #CSWEurope15

Crowdfunding has to be sustainable. Success is money getting out. And it is more exciting when supports innovation #csweurope15 @goncalotv

Benefit of pairing the crowd with professional investors? Of 59 @syndicateroom funded companies only 1 has failed – incredible. #csweurope15

“Over the weekend I printed a hand and an arm. Materials cost only 18€.” #Crowdsharing #CSWEurope15 #PedroMOliveira

#CSWEurope15 @joanneCelens Getting the question right is about having a purpose

Less ownership. More access. A combination of individual empowerment and collaborative economy is the future. @EU_Commission #CSWEurope15

@bunterberg: “Dont spend so much time in front of your screen, get to know your market. Ask for feedback, tough love” #CSWEurope15 #startup

#CSWEurope15 @cfauconnier @stiinuus The best ideas are the ones actually working in relevant contexts and practices

#CSWEurope15 @soeproza The Millennials are collaborative aboriginals, just wait for the baby boomers to resign

Chris Buckingham. Milennials aré the leaders of we-topia at #CSWEurope15

#Disruptors take note: “#Robots will be the next app-like platform you can create a lot of businesses around” @BramVDBorght #CSWEurope15

And many more…Follow all the action at #CSWEurope15
