7th Zermatt Summit 21–23/09/2018

HUMANIZING INNOVATION. An economic revolution inspired by nature.

Yes, we can change the world!

Our very lifestyle is likely to undermine the chances that future generations will be able to lead worthwhile lives and have their primary needs met. The economic production model that we currently have does not work. What is required of us, however, is to make a mental leap as well as a behavioral change, to disrupt our thinking about production so as to enter a circular, regenerative, environmentalist dynamic. It is morally necessary for us as individuals and for business to take care of our planet and it’s people.

In this year’s edition the Zermatt Summit wants to show possible paths that we can take towards regenerative growth by describing trends and scenarios that are difficult to interpret, making them visible, understandable, accessible and promising. The focus will be to put back the human person at the center of innovation in technology, food and energy. An economic revolution inspired by nature is underway. There is no more powerful force to drive innovation and change than human enterprise.The Zermatt Summit was created in 2010 as a primary international platform to promote a constructive, action-oriented dialogue between the various actors of society, ranging from business to civil society, academy, religion, arts and politics.

The conference is organized by the Zermatt Summit foundation, an independent non-profit organization recognized of
public interest by the Swiss state. The convenor is Christopher Wasserman, founder of a swiss family business.
