A group of Europeans, flowing from the same bundle of Danish energy that begat Reboot all those years ago, gathered in Cophenhagen recently for Rebuild:
20 years ago, Europe had a thriving generation of social platforms and the entrepreneurs, designers, and programmers building them. A capability and an industry that have been lost.
Rebuild is a catalyst to support and serve the new generation of European social platforms. Gathering the people in Europe who can make it happen. The entrepreneurs, the pioneers, the investors, the digital leaders.
The gathering resulted in the drafting of a letter, which finishes with this call to action:
To the builders of the critical social platforms where we connect, forge friendships, share resources, knowledge and hope, you are building more than products. You are building for our culture. Our values. Our democracies. You are building for Europe, and our collective self-confidence. Change has never been more needed. But we know change is possible.
Now let’s build it.
