What does it mean to have courage, determination and faith? What does it take in order to create –against all odds– something exceptional in any field of action, whether this is the creation of an innovative economic theory, the writing of a popular novel following extensive research, the establishment of a novel public policy or the launching of a new business when the odds seem to be stacked against one? We will have the chance to listen to people who made it thanks to their unfailing dedication to their dream and the goal they pursued.

The reason we chose this topic is due to our conviction that in a time of great change, in which we are propelled towards a new way of thinking and acting, we need courage to move to the unknown, to create and form the new upcoming era. For all of us the courage to create is the courage to keep dreaming, believing and persevering even when it seems impossible. The foundation of any meaningful change, this courage is the very fabric of the formation of a better world.
