It is as great of a business platform as a positive change catalyst in many social and environmental issues.
TWIN is a network you can trust.
TWIN is a role model for other innovation networks. TWIN is both brother and sister of JIN. TWIN inspired us to create JIN in 2013.
I view TWIN as the quintessential and barrier free technology platform linking the game changers of our world.
I have attended numerous TWIN events and I always carry away a lot of new ideas and more importantly, new friends.
TWIN is a "mela" to celebrate engagement on issues that folks are passionate about irrespective of their belief systems.

Etudes for Innovation, Opus 14
For many of us, Etudes is the highlight of our annual TWIN gathering. For me, it’s a highlight of my year. (I suppose I need to get out more.) TWIN Creative Director Jeffrey Ernstoff brings years of experience creating arts experiences and lends his curatorial eye to our theme, Transcend. For this year’s show, the New World Center’s concert hall becomes integral to our experience… and even becomes part of the ‘talent’.
Our partner Steinway & Sons will showcase their Spirio technology that has not only awed many serious music lovers (like me), but has driven 30% annualized growth and a path to an IPO. The lead for Steinway’s SE region, Solange Merdinian, also happens to be a renowned mezzo soprano. She will be joined by a lead engineer from the team that created their Spirio technology, as well as one of Steinway’s renowned artists.
And more… you will NOT want to miss this.

Society won’t prosper without a thriving private sector. Each of our panelists have been leaders in the pursuit of innovation at scale, from biotechnology and financial services to communications and media technologies. How can established enterprises leverage legacy without being constrained by it? How can they achieve financial success for shareowners while simultaneously benefitting the world at large?

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.

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.

Professor Wolcott offers concluding remarks—and welcomes a few surprises from your fellow TWIN Impact delegates– and returns us to our worlds with purpose… a bit transformed.
Professor Wolcott offers concluding remarks—and welcomes a few surprises from your fellow TWIN Impact delegates– and returns us to our worlds with purpose… a bit transformed.
This year’s theme, TRANSCEND, reflects not only our voyages beyond Covid– and now war in Europe– but also to the Metaverse, virtual worlds, the Moon, Mars and beyond. We’ll share foresight with leaders creating the future today, explore what these futures might mean for each of us, and help you translate this to ACTION. Most of all build trusted relationships with some of our world’s most innovative people.
Digital technologies enabling what was heretofore impossible. Frontiers of health and wellness, energy, food and nutrition. Distributed Finance (DeFi) and the broader Distributed Economy. The Metaverse—what it means and doesn’t, and how businesses and individuals can navigate.
