ENTREPRENEURSHIP that will Change the World we Live in
13 Jan 2012
The problems we face seem endless. A failing economy, major issues through climate change, food/water shortage, energy shortage, the lack of stock-raw materials, social cohesion coming apart and lack of trust in authorities and political organizations. Even when we would rather look the other way, the world is in crisis.
On the positive side, new initiatives to tackle the complexity of issues are coming up left and right. Bringing together people with "unlikely" backgrounds to look at a problem from fresh perspectives. Approaches where people delve deeper inside to discover lasting solutions to seemingly unsolvable challenges or disputes.
Experts outlined the state of the crisis we're in and provided examples of organizations, businesses and people who are doing their part in turning these crises around.
