Empowering the Crowd for a Better Tomorrow

Wrapping the Day 4 with the theme, “Sustainable Europe: Participatory Government & Crowd Energy Solutions” attendees came out of the conference, equipped, inspired and ready to bring all the smart ideas and crowd-powered solutions they’ve learned back in their cities (and countries).

This event was indeed an eye-opener for all of us as we explore the opportunities in crowd economy; as Martijn Arets, “If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in your room.” We all look forward to a better tomorrow in Europe and beyond, and that’s because of YOU. Better together – as a crowd – we can make a difference.
