As a partner of the EBG, Open led the "Marketplace: a Must-have for the digital strategy?" Task Force through 4 brainstorming workshops, which brought together around thirty advertisers. For six months, they all worked to understand the stakes of a Marketplace. These sessions were run by Olivier Czapka, Lateos byOpen Sales Manager, and Vincent Lorach, CEO of Lateos byOpen.
On 14 September, a round table will present the results of this work, in the form of a white paper that will be given to all participants.

In what context is this model most relevant? Products? Services? B2C? B2B?
- What possibilities does this model also open up internally (procurement, etc.)?
- What are the challenges associated with the launch of a marketplace? What resources are required?
- What are the best practices on the operator side?
