The Future of Innovation: A Positive Outlook on Technology and the Future In this keynote, I first address the growing negativity about the future, particularly among young Europeans. Despite significant challenges such as increased cybersecurity threats, accelerating climate change, and utter economic uncertainties, I then talk about our increasing capacity to tackle these problems through science and technology, but also through global collaboration. I then cover the revolutionary potential of AI, nuclear fusion, and renewable energy, while stressing the importance of shifting from a mere profit-driven, extraction-focused economic model to one that prioritizes sustainability and purpose: #peopleplanetpurposeprosperity I also highlight the role of human intelligence, creativity, and compassion in shaping a better world, hopefully inspiring a positive and proactive mindset toward what I call #thegoodfuture
