Who are we?
The World Forum for a Responsible Economy (WFRE) is an annual event that gathers 6,000 economic and business leaders,citizens, entrepreneurs, students…from all over the world to advocate for a responsible and sustainable economy and impulse concrete changes within our territory through conferences and workshops.
This event is organized by “Réseau Alliances”, the largest CSR best practice platform (please visit: http://www.bipiz.org/en/) in France.
This year we will celebrate our 11th edition and we are planning our event on 17-19 October, 2017 in the city of Lille, capital of North of France.
Tuesday, June 20th, in Arras and Wednesday, June 21st, in Amiens, we invited you to discover why bioeconomy truly is a necessary and unavoidable revolution.
Through the lenses of agro-resources and food, our french and international speakers came to share their experiences and present their best practices in order to answer the question "Bioeconomy, a solution of today to the problems of tomorrow?".
On June, 20th in Arras and on June 21st, 2017 in Amiens, the World Forum for a Responsible Economy offers two days of international conferences on the bioeconomy.
Through the lenses of agro-resources and food, we will explore how economic sectors and territories can seize the opportunities presented by bioeconomy.
Which biomass for which uses? How can we meet human needs while sustainably managing our resources? Which innovations are needed to ensure the competitiveness of bio-based products and materials and how can they be stimulated?
By placing the use of biomass at the heart of economic activities, bioeconomy tries to meet human needs (energy, materials, food, chemicals, etc.) while reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and our impact on the environment.
The 11th World Forum for a Responsible Economy will take place in Lille on 17, 18 and 19 October 2017. Discover the concept note 2017
From serving a community of 3 million professionals world wide to making it to the top 100 influences for start-ups. She seamlessly connected employers to employees, problems to solutions in most appealing fashion.
Because attention is irresistibly depending on purchased visibilité, public debate about global economic issues is not clear-headed, nor fair. Super fast growing companies design & deploy digital infrastructures that radically transform service industry : the media hype is all about ûber, airBnB and their GAFAM big brothers. (=Google+Amazon+Facebook+Apple+Microsoft).
Who believes these hyperproductive systems run without human work ? Unfortunately, the oldschool working right is already obsolete in the new “on demand” economic paradigm.
