Welcome to Our New World Summit
In the midst of many challenges, Our New World brings together leaders across industries and sectors to celebrate a future economy and discuss what has worked this year and what did not when it comes to successful transformation, sustainability, innovation & social responsibility.
What makes Our New World unique is an inspiring community & program that is less conference and more small group encounters around the topics participants care about most.
True to the DO, “Our New World” aims to inspire action for the year to come and offers a chance to reflect and build new alliances and connections.
Our New World Summit is by invitation.
Please register your interest above if you want to learn more.
