Humanizing Innovation : 8-10 September 2017
www.zermattsummit.org
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a range of new
technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds,
impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging
The real revolution begins in the human heart. It begins when we allow ourselves to think that a different kind of economy just might be possible. The real world always departs from our ideal. It’s time to dream a deeper dream, where a regenerative economy, is built around ideals such as fairness, community, sustainability, bene ting the many rather than the few, enabling the human person and the living planet to nourish.
Our success will ultimately be determined by the degree to which minds and hearts will be touched and actions are taken as a result. I wish you an inspiring three day journey, may this be only the beginning...
