Regardless of whether what we do and how we go through the next several months and the different secondary crises related to COVID-19, one is clear – things we’ve taken for granted will inevitably change. Some for good. And some for better. Some things may come back to the old normal, but there will also be a new normal that includes the new learnings, models, and mindsets we are currently adopting. Historically, crises have always boosted innovation in one way or another. This is what we want to put on the agenda now.
The Big Reset Days are a platform for discussion that aims to lay the foundation for concrete actions. For four days, entrepreneurs, leaders, experts, community builders and policy-makers discussed and explored opportunities in various digital forms from webinars, keynotes and fireside chats over analytical articles, video interviews and case studies. Here you can find all the great content that was created during the BIG RESET.
