Insights from DLD Speakers
“We’ve created a system that sucks all the wealth and brings it to the door of some select people. It’s a ticking time bomb – socially, politically and economically.”
“Music is a universal connector. It encompasses everything that is stimulating to us.”
“We can build a totally new, urban transportation system that is roughly five to ten times as efficient as cars, at least ten times as safe, and also cost-competitive.”
“We believe that our European, human-centric approach is the way forward.”
“Our European way of life and the future of liberal democracy are closely linked to digitalization.”
“I always thought space was somewhere else – but space is part of where we live.”
“How do we make sure that future technology is hardwired for human progress?”
“Regulation should not stifle innovation – but we should be very careful not to put innovation in a higher order of significance than democracy.”
“Capital is relatively mobile. The resource we crave the most is talent.”
“It’s drugs and technology that look at us as ‘users’. I would say that big data is like Big Tobacco.
