Need to develop indicators

Policy implementation

Data collection

• How many workers get to the park by car from Schiedam, Rotterdam,

Delft…?

• What time do they start and finish their working day or duty?

• What is the ecological footprint of each worker from each company?

The automation of the productive centres

2050 Scenario

Most of repetitive works will be carried out by machines or programs

The community leaders have the responsibility to

transform this threat into an opportunity

The destruction of occupations

generates at the same time a wide

variety of employments as engineers,

computer experts, electricians,

mechanics….

During decades, many factories decided to move

to Asia or South-America.

Since factories will need less workmanship, but

more specialized workers, many companies will

come back.


The change to the home office

2050 Scenario

More jobs consisting of working full time in front of a computer using

the internet

More technologies that allow establishing multiple conferences,

calls, shared folders, shared desktop…

Factories and productive centers automation

Conclusions

• SPAANSE POLDER should not compete against Rotterdam parks

• Is essential finding the right policy implementations in order to know the

companies and workers needs and involve them to achieve the objectives

• A lack of planning in industrial development means a noteworthy handicap for the

competitiveness of the companies located within the park and, thus, for the whole

geographical area.

• Logic and recent experience remark that collaboration should be the next leap in

productivity

• My proposals are a brainstorm that should be studied deeply

• There is a lot of work to do… there are a lot of open opportunities
