COMPETITIONS ON

THE ECONOMY

MUST HELP US BALANCE JOBS, FAIRNESS AND SUSTAINABILITY

FUTURE OF JOBS

Future of Jobs

Adults need jobs to earn money. Jobs are how status is ascribed to us. Can we redefine jobs? Can parenting or looking after the elderly be defined as work and paid for? How can we create more jobs, in an era of A.I?

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

Universal Basic Income

If AI is going to decimate jobs, some form of basic income will be needed. Few governments are working on UBI. Some economists oppose it. We need discussions, models, trials, re-education programmes and solutions now.

REDUCING INEQUALITY

Reducing Inequality

How to reward risk-taking and hard work fairly, while reducing inequalities? Past revolutions arose from a lack of equality. We need new models and tax systems, more advantageous treatment of developing countries in trade rules.

RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTIONS

Responsible Consumption

The circular economy is what is needed. Making things that are not disposable but last and are re-chargeable, re-used, re-purposed and ultimately re-cycled. And most of us just need less things.

CONTROL OF BIG DATA

Control of big data

People love technology – so many benefits and some free. But are we manipulated? Our private data sold? Are these technology giants manipulating or addicting mankind, paying little tax? How to regulate them globally?

NEW ECONOMIC MODELS

New Economic Models

Governments want growth. A 3% annual growth means doubling the planet's resources every 26 years. And increase in emissions, even if we use greener energy. How to reach a sustainable world?

MONEY & CURRIENCIES

Money & Currencies

Money makes the world go around. But do we need it in its present form? How can we modernise it without risking the collapse of the sector that underpins our economy?

AI & TECHNOLOGY

AI & TECHNOLOGY

Some say they'll lead us into an age of super-abundance. Others say up to 40% of jobs will be lost. Is AI a force for good or evil? Do we need regulators or to ride the wave? How can we all benefit?

DEALING WITH DEBT

Dealing with Debt

Many governments are drowning in debt. Individuals are also in debt, unable to find a way out. Banks sell us more credit cards, even our children. Yet infrastructure needs debt finance. How to restore public & private finances ?

BANKING & FINANCE

Banking & Finance

Most current systems, banking, markets, WTO, IMF, UN were shaped and led by USA. Are they fit for purpose in a fast-changing world? If the No. 1 economy benefits from current systems, how will change come about? Are there better systems?

INDUSTRY SUPPLY CHAINS

Industry Supply Chains

When companies aim to be clean and green, it’s not easy to police supply chains, unless you’re a big buyer. SMEs are not. Education, exposure, traceability through technology can transform this. Policy changes and data-sharing can close gaps.

TRANSPORT

Transport

The future of transportation is a combination of new mobility options, including connected and automated vehicles, shared mobility, electrification and smart cities. What are the best ideas for cities and businesses?
BACK TO COMPETITIONS

INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure

Persistent underfunding of infrastructure hampers economic progress and exposes businesses and communities to risks. Existing infrastructure is under stress from population growth, extreme weather and climate change. How to make it more resilient?

COMPLEMENTARY CURRENCIES

Complementary Currencies

Recent estimates indicate over 6,000 complementary currencies worldwide, over 50x the number of conventional money systems. Most are user-controlled and interest-free. The future of money? Or a source of confusion?

BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain

Imagine a spreadsheet reproduced thousands of times across a network of computers. Then regularly auto-updated, shared and continually reconciled. So blockchain could revolutionise how info is shared and secured on the net. How to best adopt it?

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Circular Economy

Is the jewel of a circular economy its future impact on designers? Imagine design-thinking moving from “cheap and disposable” to products used many times, then composted back to soil or re-purposed. The very concept of waste eliminated.
BACK TO COMPETITIONS

GLOBAL REGULATORS

Global Regulators

Big challenges – polluted oceans, emissions, climate change, big data, tax avoidance , inequality – call for multilateral collaboration. In a period of rising populism, how can we come together to regulate ourselves across national borders?

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable energy

No point demonizing Big Oil. We love and need energy. It lifted us out of poverty and squalor. It empowers things we enjoy and need. Attacking them endangers whole economies. Lets help them navigate to a positive role in a low-oil world.

NEW TAX SYSTEMS

Tax

Super rich need to pay more. Corporations too - the elephant in the room. Most governments are indebted, cos they have failed as tax collectors. Scandinavian countries pay higher tax, but citizens are more equal and happier.
