“To break new ground, we need the mindset to think big. What is needed for a sustainable, equitable and cooperative future? The starting point is the present. How do we work today, who are the winners or losers, are we satisfied with the existing situation? Instead of settling for compromises, we can change direction and drive innovation to overcome existing bottlenecks. ”
