Metropolitan region Rotterdam The Hague (MRDH)

2.2 million people 23 municipalities 1 million houses 12 million m2 office space 3.800 ha business area 12 knowledge & research institutes 50 business networks

Urgency

• Economic potential of MRDH is insufficiently utilized
• Necessity to intensify regional collaboration

(OECD report February 2016, commissioned by MRDH and Ministry of the Interior)

• Need for a comprehensive, resilient & sustainable economic strategy:

‘one region, one vision, one investment strategy’ MRDH

Next economy => Questions for our region:

• What will be our future earning capacity?
• What future labour market will evolve?
• What (future) skills are required?
• What will be the effects on the urban environment and

civilisation? How do we deal with:

• digitalisation:robots,sensors,3 d printing
• circularity
• sharing economy?

Road map Next Economy: Five Transition Pathways

• Digital Gateway to Europe  towards zero marginal cost
• Smart Energy Delta  towards zero carbon
• Circular Economy  towards zero waste
• Entrepreneurial Region  towards a productive region
• The Next Society  towards an inclusive economy

Next xt Economy & Labour Market

New way of working:

• Innovation is the key for all workers
• Business organisations and labourmarket

are changing * life span of products has declined * work organised by digital platforms * flexible hierarchy * distinction work-private life erodes

• Diversity in employment relationships

Will robots take our jobs ? Opinions of researchers vary considerably.

• jobs will disappear,
• content of jobs will change (50%),
• new jobs will come up,

Next xt Economy Labour Market II II

It will affect all kind of jobs

• High qualified: preparing, planning and
• perations might be automatized/digitalized.
• Middle : automation/digitization will lead to

loss of jobs e.g. banks and insurance companies

• Low skilled: a large part of the work can not be

automatized: care, relief work, hotel and catering industry etc. Lessons:

• learning & working difficult to separate
• Hybrid jobs; different, part-time (Gig economy)
• Permanent contract for life, disappear

How do we prepare?

• Next (s

(soft ft) skil ills

• personal skills

ict skills, learn how to learn, creative thinking, how to collaborate

• Creative- and entrepreneurial skills

design-thinking; problem solving, co- creation: multi-disciplinary, teamwork; entrepreneurship

• Professional knowledge and -skills

will build the layers for a flexible and innovative mind set: why not mentality. Why is this important ? Volberda, 2015: If you invest in ( disruptive) innovation, technological innovation contributes 40% and social innovation 60%.

Public Private Co-creation & Partnership

• Citylabs;Techlabs & Fablabs: Research, design and manufacturing( Proof of concepts, prototyping, one-offs)

– Centres of Expertise & Centres for innovation and craftmanship – Incubators & Accelerators; Stimulating entrepreneurship: YES Delft, Metropolitan Startup Lab – Campuses & Field labs – new product-& service development – Communities of Practice – new business concepts & business models .

Next Skills: developing high quality and relevant skils for students and teachers: i.g.problem solving,

Next teacher & Teaching: Sufficient numbers and well qualified : change of role Life long learning : Permanent education & re-integration; public, private cooperation in education &

labor- market questions. Basic & digital skills for every-one.
