Join founders, industry experts, and innovators as we discuss how the sector is creating real-world value, driving economic growth, and shaping the future of mobility, connectivity, sustainability, and exploration beyond Earth.
Let’s pause for a moment, and reflect:
“What will be our HUMAN EDGE when the technology and change will become faster than our ability to adapt to it?”
Perhaps, our metaskill of learning to learn will be our human edge. MetaSkills are the foundational skills that make us learn other skills. A strong core of metaskills is central to our ability to learn new skills to take charge of change around us.
In this session you will learn:
A core set of six metaskills that we will need to continuously adapt to change
Overview of a method to practice and train your metaskills mental muscles.
An indepth dive into one of the metaskills - metaskills of communication
Launch of Berlin Chapter of “MetaSkills Community - A Global Future Skills Community” which has chapters in places like Singapore, Vancouver, Tokyo, Lisbon and more.
How can research move beyond the lab and create real-world impact?
