Imagine a world where businesses have access to the best global talent, with just a click. One where freelancers can work whenever they want from wherever they are for clients spanning the globe, instead of just those within commuting distance.

That world is here and now. The weight of a difficult economy, a shortage of technical talent in the US and Western Europe, and the development of new technologies such as Skype, Google Docs, Dropbox, Yammer, and online workplace oDesk have ignited a transformation. The global shift towards flexible work has created significant innovations in remote collaboration, hiring practices, and job sourcing, changing the structure of even the world’s most established and successful companies.

Join us at Metavallon Hub for an interactive discussion on the emergence of online work. Learn from veteran Greek entrepreneurs how these changes benefit both Greek startups and freelancers, and how startup companies, like Genetium, and even oDesk itself leveraged an on-demand, online workforce as a source of competitive advantage.
