Powering the Future: The Global Energy Transition

We all want—and need—sustainability, but the path will not be direct. TWINian Declan Flanagan has not only been a leader in the renewable energy arena, he’s founded a major enterprise, Lincoln Clean Energy, acquired by Danish energy leader Ørsted A/S for which he led one of their three divisions. Today, he’s building a new enterprise to lead through the next decade. I’ve always valued Declan’s perspective for his authority, candor and insight.

Transcending Illness: Transformative Models for Health

My father, Bob Wolcott, would likely be 81 years old this year if we had had real-time health monitoring– in 2004. That’s just the start. How can we define, develop, validate and scale up truly transformative approaches to health and wellness? Vijay Murugappan’s firm FQA is the leading health industry-focused advisor. Entrepreneur Sumit Jamuar is changing our genetic world—literally. Mariya Filipova is active in about every role you can imagine to envision and transform healthcare, from investor and entrepreneur to corporate executive— and patient.

Human Health, Ecosystem Health: ONE Health

Peter Hudson is one of the world’s leading researchers in zoonotic infectious diseases, particularly the transmission of pathogens from bats to humans. Via his 30 years in the field, he’s seen first hand the profound impact of ecosystem health on human health— and the sorely lacking nature of current health paradigms. ONE Health is a global movement of researchers, medical professionals and patients— all of us—dedicated to changing that.

Sustainable, Inclusive Prosperity

Panama’s Minister of Tourism Iván Eskildsen and his team, including senior advisor Dario Jhangimal, envision a thriving tourism sector that supports and enhances the economic, environmental and social prosperity of indigenous communities and the country at large.

They’re doing a lot more than just envisioning. They’re making it happen.

Dean Julio Ottino and co-author internationally acclaimed designer Bruce Mau in May, 2022, launched an artbook regarding the critical convergence of this century.

We’ve all heard of Defi. What does it— and could it– mean? Hear from two TWINians at the forefront of distributed finance, commerce and, really, distributed everything.

Meta Before “Meta”— In Action

In a future where design of our lived experiences will become ever more comprehensive and essential, designers will continue to rise. What does great design mean in a world where every aspect of the experience can be modified, invented, catalyzed— anything? TWINians know they’re in for inspiration and edification with Brian Collins. We’ll discover new worlds with Pico Velasquez.

Welcome to our Miami Area guests and those joining us via livestreaming. Professor Wolcott will frame our journey– and the art works amplifying our experience.

Indian artist Raghava KK, who has been with us at TWIN since his first appearance with us in 2011, has over the past two years risen to true international fame in the art world. His art incorporates many traditions, transcends genre and explores mythical worlds and how we create and experience them. Special thanks to TWINian Kunal Sood for the introduction and continued support of Raghava’s exceptional work.

Society won’t prosper without a thriving private sector.

Nordic Prosperity: What we can learn, how we can engage

In no region of the world has prosperity been so consistent and widely shared as the Nordics. Part of the magic is their interest in engaging with the world and the recognition that prosperity requires hard work and collaboration. Nordic Innovation has been with us many times over the years, and none of our global TWIN partners have been as supportive and engaged as the Open Innovation Lab of Norway.

I’ll be participating in Oslo Innovation Day September 1. Hear from our Nordic TWINians why you should visit the region with me.

Liftoff! Transcending Our Formerly Forever Home

Many of us dream about space. A few TWINians are making it happen. Dorit Donoviel leads NASA’s grant program for Translational Research in Space Health (TRISH). Kelly Larson founded and leads a company to provide communications services in orbit—and eventually beyond. (Her company might eventually allow you to “phone home.”)

UPDATE: Proximity, Pharmaceuticals, Earth & Beyond

Some of us build billion dollar companies that change the world. Retired US Army Colonel Dr. Geoffrey Ling shared his visions for our world at TWIN Global 2018. He and his team have since founded OnDemand Pharmaceuticals— a scale-up valued at over half a billion dollars on the way to transforming pharmaceutical supply worldwide… and likely beyond. TWIN Advisory Board Member Chip Bailey met Geoffrey at our 2018 confab and has been a trusted business advisor ever since.

Ukraine, Europe & the World

Ukraine is fighting for a new civilization—a civilization of resolve. That resolve is freedom combined with strength. It is the freedom of the soul combined with the strength to achieve our desires as well as to protect those achievements. This is the Ukrainian contribution to the worldwide effort to build that vision of the future in which all of us would like to live.

Cyber: From SciFi to IRL… and Beyond

Guy-Philippe Goldstein envisions and confronts the intersections between cyber and conflict both as a senior analyst and advisor to major investors and governments– and as an award-winning Science Fiction author. Former Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu recommends Guy-Philippe’s science fiction work as a top read for anyone concerned about national security and cyberspace. We’ve asked him to share what every informed citizen should know about this rapidly emerging threat space.

In 2021, she joined Justin Milano and his team at Abroad.io to help individuals and organizations enhance wellbeing and performance. Sydney Savion, CLO of Google spinout CityBlock Health, was recognized by her global peers as the world’s top Chief Learning Officer. They’ll share what resilience means for enterprises— and for each of us as human beings.
