Future Dialogue
Science and business make many things possible. But in today’s fast-moving world, open dialogue and open communication are more important than ever before.
How can science, business and politics best cooperate to tackle the major challenges of the 21st century? This is the question that was addressed at Future Dialogue in Berlin on October 26, 2009.
This high-level conference brought together a panel of 22 top scientists, policy-makers and business leaders, as well as an exclusive, international audience of over 500 participants, to discuss ways of improving co-operation between business, science and politics. The sessions were chaired by the news weekly The Economist.
