Your second day is dedicated to scanning the horizon. You’ll immerse yourself in the future, gaining a deeper understanding of the changes brought about by exponential technologies and how they reshape our world.

“ It’s not easy to build solutions for the future when you don’t have the frameworks, when you don’t know the tools, when you don’t know the right people. And when you don’t understand the problem. So after the EP, it’s going to be easier to do that because we now have the frameworks, information, people... more ideas.”

“ We all come from different industries, from different countries, from different backgrounds. But there is a unifying element and that is our own self-selection to spend our time improving the way we think in order to solve world challenges and using technology for good. And that’s the unifying element that brings this diverse group of people together.”
