In order to assess how public authorities and crowdfunding platforms can collabo-rate, it is essential to understand the different levels of maturity of the Crowdfunding ecosystem. The chapter analyses concepts developed in the crowdfunding literature. It establishes a unified framework to understand the increasing complexity of crowdfunding industries, by discussing the conceptual framework of Crowdfunding success. It proceeds to describe several models of maturity of industries by applying entrepreneurial ecosystem theory to the alternative finance space. Lastly, it transfers entrepreneurial ecosystem theory to the alternative finance regulation and the four scenarios of fitting crowdfunding and alternative finance into existing regulation.

“…The European Parliament has highlighted the diversity of crowdfunding regimes in the Member States as a crucial factor which rendered crowdfunding business models less easily 'passportable' across the EU (European Parliament, 2018). One of the most significant "pre regulation" discussions was about the fragmented regulatory landscape within the EU, which leaded to the fact, that platforms operate mainly in the country of registration (Wenzlaff, Odorovic et al, 2020). However, some studies have shown high performance of cross-border financing of crowdfunding platforms of the Baltic States (Ziegler, Shneor, et al, 2019).…”

Global pandemic COVID-19 has increased the level of digitalization which allows public and private sector organizations in the world to employ people remotely outside office premises and crossing borders of the world. Remote work is one of the new employment forms caused by the impact of digitalization, which keeps conquering and strengthening the positions on our daily professional lives.It means extended use of different new employment forms, including the digital transition of administration processes and business management, improvement of digital skills and competences, contributing to development of areas of services and products with higher benefit (Breaugh, Farabee, 2012). Research aims to study basic principles and tendencies of remote work organization based on theoretical aspects, draw conclusions and elaborate proposals for improvement of remote work. In order to achieve the goal, the tasks are as follows: 1) provide the explanation of remote work organization; 2) describe secondary data from a conducted survey by Milasi, S., Fernandez -Macias, E., Gonzalez-Vazquez, I. 2020, European Commission; 3) conduct survey about remote work.

“…Second, crowdfunding is a well-established concept in Finland with some 20 active platforms already operating in the market, while jointly overseeing volumes surpassing 390 million USD in 2020 (Ziegler et al, 2021). And third, Finland was one of the first European countries to introduce regulatory amendments in support of a crowdfunding market development, well before the introduction of the European Crowdfunding Service Provider regime (Wenzlaff et al, 2020).…”

Despite promises of financial democracy, studies find differences between males and females in both the scale of their crowdfunding backing behavior and the factors impacting it. These are often explained by social feminist theory claiming that gender differences arise from dissimilar life experiences or socialization. In the current study we identify the most pervasive of gender differences and examine whether they apply in a relatively more gender equal society, where dissimilar life experiences or socialization should be minimal. Here, crowdfunding is assumed to remove traditional structural and technical barriers, while gender equality is assumed to remove socio-normative barriers for women’s engagement in venture funding. Accordingly, we test related hypotheses based on survey data collected from users of a reward crowdfunding platform in Finland, a society ranking high on gender equality. For both males and females, findings show that self-efficacy has a positive association with intentions; and that risk perceptions and susceptibility to social influence are not associated with intentions. Homophily is positively associated with intentions in females only, while pro-social orientation is positively associated with intentions in males only. Intentions are positively associated with behavior in both genders, and that effects on behavior mediated by intentions follow the same patterns.
