Over the past 2 years, the world has experienced more changes to the ways we interact, than in the previous decade. Looking to the future, humanity must re-think the tools we use to capture social and economic value in ways that improve the state of our world; both for humans and the environment. Radical approaches to problem solving will make the difference, from Fourth I.R technologies to systemic knowledge sharing. We're excited to share with you and learn from you on some of these approaches to unlocking value.
