The World is Round - in search of an optimistic future, beyond Corona

Digital disruption has forced many industries to adjust to the new reality. Every sector has its own perfect storm to deal with in order to use the digital forces to their advantage and as such define their new position. But what if this is only the beginning? What if it’s not enough for an industry to look for just their own transformation plan? What if our society changes fundamentally, partly because of digitalisation but even more by today’s challenges such as the future of working, living, climate, health or education?
