Finance 4.0
This inspirational project called Finance 4.0 creates a multi-dimensional encouraging system to manage complex systems and power the circular economy and introduces a quality of life for people with limited financial resources.
Overview of the project
FuturICT 2.0 will pursue disruptive innovation by addressing the main social problems at their root: lack of sustainability.
To this aim, we propose a model called Finance 4.0: a circular and sharing economy that would allow a high quality of life for more people with less resources.
The finance 4.0 system is liberal, democratic, pluralistic, participatory, social and ecological. It makes use of the immaterial nature of information, boosts combinatorial innovation and creates opportunities for all, by fostering an open and participatory ecosystem.
To demonstrate the basic functionality of the Finance 4.0, we will develop the Finance 4.0 Pilot Demonstrator. It will explore the potentialities of this innovative economic model, from pricing and trading to multi-currencies, from taxation options to new opportunities for central banks’ financial system.
The purpose of "Finance 4.0" concept is to create a multi-dimensional incentive system to manage complex systems and promote a circular sharing economy to create a high quality of life for more people with fewer resources.
