The Future is Young Hardcover – 4 July 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Amid this fast and disorienting pace of change, many are instinctively looking to political leaders and world-renowned experts for answers. As a result,
important conversations that should be going on have been conspicuous by their absence. In particular, these are conversations that should involve young people. If new paradigms are emerging that will one day govern how we live, work, learn and communicate, it is the youth that needs to be in the driver's seat of shaping them. The new generation needs to ensure that these paradigms reflect its values and priorities, as well as its outlook on the world and how it perceives its own place in the world. Young people have boundless energy, but they often lack inspiration and hope. This book is about supporting young minds' probing efforts with creative vision, energy and ambition.

About the authors

Initially a mathematician and a specialist of international trade, Bruno Lanvin is a French economist who has lived in France, the US, and Switzerland, and worked in over 70 countries. His research and publications have focused on information technology, innovation and talent strategies. He has over forty years of experience in advising governments and large corporations, including twenty years at the United Nations and ten at the World Bank, where he held senior positions.
Since 2001, he has been co-authoring The Global Information Technology Report (NRI), the Global Innovation Index Report (GII), and the Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI), the Smart City Index Report, and the award-winning book ‘Sixteen Shades of Smart’. Over the last decade, his research has very much focused on education and talent policies as a tool to accelerate growth. Through his responsibilities as a board member of various private and public organizations, he was able to heighten interest for education and talent strategies, and to promote the strategic formulation of knowledge strategies.
He holds a BA in Mathematics, an MBA (HEC), a PhD in Economics (Paris I-La Sorbonne), and is an alumnus of INSEAD (IDP-C) and MIT. Currently a Distinguished Fellow, INSEAD, he is both the President of IMD’s Smart City Observatory , and a Co-founder and Director of Portulans Institute, a global thinktank that focuses on technology, innovation and talent. A father of four (and now a grandfather) he lives in Switzerland.
