Knowledge is one of the factors of production. In the context of technological progress, it no longer only refers to business competencies — now this includes data and algorithms, which are used as a basis for new business models. The "knowledge economy" puts forward new requirements not only for the main economic actors, the education system and the quality of human capital.
How are science and technology shaping the economy of the 21st century? Can we talk about humanity’s transition to a knowledge economy? What is the impact of technology, big data and innovation on global markets?
Participants will explore examples of successful innovation ecosystems, the role of universities and research centers in the development of new industries, and the prospects for cooperation between government, business and academia in shaping the economy of the future.
