European Commission workshop "Public Services for Businesses: recipes for supporting growth" - 6 February 2014 at DG CONNECT

Dear all,
(apologise for cross posting)
Tech4i2 on behalf of the European Commission is organising the workshop *Public
Services for Businesses: recipes for supporting
growth*<http://www.eventbrite.com/e/public-services-for-businesses-tickets-10060153189>
*,* that follows up to the Digital Agenda Assembly workshop 1 "Going Smart
and Accessible in Public Services and
Cities<https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/workshop-2-going-smart-and-accessible-public-services-and-cities>",
held in Dublin last 19th June 2013.
The workshop aims at answering the following questions:

   - How can governments better support the enterprises?
   - Is the reduction of administrative burden enough or we can do more?
   - In the current times of economic crisis businesses not only struggle
   to grow but even to survive. They need an environment that favours their
   development.
   - Which actions and policies can the public sector set up to provide
   such an environment? Creating service infrastructure? Providing consultancy
   service to expand and internationalise their business? Developing One Stop
   Shop services?

These questions (and more) will be answered with the help of 7 high-profile
speakers who will present the key lessons learnt from international best
practice. Representatives from the public sector, practitioners, experts
and other stakeholders will gather together in this one day workshop to
identify policy options to be proposed and adopted by the public
administrations across Europe.The discussion will start from real cases and
experiences and take into account 4 key areas already identified:

   - Ease of use of online services and reduction in administrative burdens
   - Non-regulatory support for SMEs
   - Public procurement
   - Support for cross border trade and internationalisation
