Exploring
the Unknown

About the Theme

Explore the breakthroughs reshaping our future and meet the visionaries driving them. From the farthest reaches of space to the depths of the ocean, beyond the boundaries of human perception and deep into the future of technology, we bring together pioneers pushing the limits of knowledge. By venturing into the unknown, we challenge how we see the world and our place within it.​

What defines the edge of the unknown, and how do we determine which frontiers are worth exploring?​

How does expanding our understanding of uncharted realms shape the way we navigate the future?​

GENERATIONS

The global population will continue to grow for another three generations. It will be non-trivial to empower societies by offering solutions to humanity’s most complex and universal needs, optimizing systems they rely on, safeguarding against risks that could make societies more fragile in the face of crises and extending individual and collective potential for growth, development and well-being.

TRANSFORMING​ HUMANITY​

This is the power to radically change ways of life by replacing the models that countries, communities and individuals live by – if they don’t work. These new models enable individuals and communities to innovate, improve and aid the transformation of humanity to new digital and non-digital realities.
