Amidst global uncertainty, the EU faces a productivity crisis. As Mario Draghi highlighted, US productivity is now 20% higher than the EU's, and our share of global GDP is shrinking. 📉 The new EU mandate has a crucial task: revitalize Europe's competitiveness. One promising path is AI-driven innovation. AI could add €1.2 trillion to our economy and bring widespread benefits, but we need to adapt. 💡 Let's not miss out on this opportunity. The EU has the potential to be a global leader in AI, driving competitiveness and creating a brighter future for all Europeans. 🚀 Read more about Google's approach to rebuild competitiveness in Europe, alongside innovation with AI in the op ed by Matt Brittin published in L'Echo.

The French coworking market model is moving towards less gigantic spaces in Paris and more locations scattered across France. A study by research firm Xerfi reveals that after a doubling of the offering in the last five years, the coworking market in France is entering an era of consolidation. Iconic openings of massive coworking locations are still expected in the coming months - such as a 10.000 m2 project by Spaces. offices | co-working | meeting rooms. in Lyon. However, the rise of interest rates and a demand which grew in a slower mode than the pace of flex capacities development push operators to go nowadays for a more conservative expansion planning. A big deal of the new coworking locations to come will be outside of the Paris region, predicts Xerfi, even if Paris still accounts for 2/3 of the French coworking market. It was 3/4 in 2019. "Our forecast scenario for the evolution of supply reflects this slowdown, with an expected growth of 9% in 2024, then 6% per year in 2025 and 2026 (based on business continuity of WeWork in Paris)", says Vincent Desruelles, the head of studies at Xerfi. "Medium-sized French cities such as Metz, Bayonne or Clermont-Ferrand, for instance, are getting. The brands which grew the most in the last years, such as FLEX-O📲 - Espaces de travail flexibles et écoresponsables , Now coworking, Bureaux And Co, Newton Offices 🍎 Espaces de travail flexibles pour entreprises en mouvement, Startway Coworking & Innovation Centers, etc.), are mainly active in Tier 2 or 3 cities." via Synaphe • Syndicat Coworking & Domiciliation cc Bruno Rebille Maxime Givon Romain Méfret Nadine Saunier Tom Debelleix Dorian MEGY Nicolas Leroy Christophe Courtin Grégory Ortiz Didier Fornetti Jerome Lepoivre Gaël Montassier Mouhamed LALEYE Nordine El ouachmi Maguy Montoya Ludivine BUNEL Romain Laventure

🗳️ How do French citizens feel about the economy ahead of snap elections next week? A majority believe inequality is a big problem and that immediate action is needed on climate, according to a new survey.👇 The Earth for All 2024 Survey conducted by Ipsos and commissioned by Earth4All and Global Commons Alliance reflects widespread public concern in France about inequality and climate action, and backing for tax reforms as well as broader political and economic reform. Here are the results at a glance: 🌎 It’s time for a Giant Leap: 73% of French citizens surveyed believe that the world needs to take immediate action, within the next decade, to reduce carbon emissions. Only a small minority believe slower, delayed action is required. 🗳️ People want political and economic reform: just 18% of those surveyed trust the government to make long-term decisions for the majority of people, and economic inequality is also seen as a big problem in France. 67% of those surveyed believe that the way the economy works should prioritize the health and wellbeing of people and nature – not just increase profits and wealth. ⚖️ Tax the rich: there is strong support for progressive taxation as a means of funding major changes to the economy and lifestyles. Around two-thirds (67%) of respondents back a wealth tax, while 62% support higher income taxes for high earners, and 63% favor increased corporation tax for big businesses. 👉 Learn more and explore the results in full: https://lnkd.in/dS89YTKE #SafeAndJust #GlobalCommons #PlanetaryEmergency #Earth4All #FrenchElections #Elections2024 #ClimateCrisis
