The future depends on technological breakthroughs

• Virtual worlds, cells modified with the help of AI and high-tech against climate change: We show how new technologies and life merge.
• Downward wage spiral, virtual offices, hardly any hierarchies – how the changes in our working world are accelerating.
• Hardly any interest, insecure pensions, inflation: Germans are increasingly discovering shares as an antidote – and young people are shaping a new investment culture.

Without new ideas and inventions we will not be able to fight climate change effectively. And the way out of the corona pandemic also leads through innovations – or into a dead end. The future of the world has not been so dependent on technological breakthroughs for a long time as it was in the decade that has just dawned.

The good news is: these breakthroughs are already emerging. As perhaps not since the beginning of the industrial revolution, scientists and entrepreneurs around the world are celebrating innovations that enable completely new dimensions of progress.
