Empowering Networks for a Sustainable Future

In a world that changes at a high pace, all sectors and industries must find new ways of working together as contributors to sustainable development in all aspects of society, from planning to implementation. The public sector plays an important role in the ecosystem, so do the research industry and academia, along with the business sector. Each actor has its critical role in the ecosystem, and the time is ripe for collaboration and creating support networks, given the social context of the last two years and the effects the pandemic, followed by the invasion of Ukraine, had on the economy at all levels. While some industries were more affected and others felt less pressure, at an individual level everyone felt the social and economic effects upon society, which opened a new stage of opportunities and pushed upon the emergence of considering to rely less on material resources and explore new perspectives of development, with creativity and collaboration.
