The session will start by using innovation to present the main messages coming out from the previous discussions. With a short video we bring the audience closer to the 12 geographies covered during the day representing how the “ball was passed” from one session to the next. The session will follow by engaging in a fascinating discussion on how transformation is taking place through specific activities. Invited panellists will tell us how through their lifes and careers they have observed and been part of transformations.
