Together with their introduction each attendee had to answer what they thought would be the most important thing Amsterdam municipality could do to foster sustainable collaborative entrepreneurship.
Consistent policy, trust, space to learn, fail and experiment and real partnership was something all participants agreed upon. The importancy of intermediaries was also stretched.
