The Brain House - Day 1
At this year’s Davos gathering, DAC introduced the first-ever Brain House to spotlight the vital link between brain health and global challenges. Kicking off with an inspiring reception Monday evening, the event continued Tuesday with two standing-room-only panels on Lifecourse and Investment. A huge thank you to our brilliant panelists, moderators, and the engaged audience. Here's to thriving collaboration and impactful progress.
The history of economic growth is defined by breakthroughs that led to previously unimaginable productivity. From the steam engine that kicked off the industrial revolution to the transformation A.I. is driving today, key breakthroughs are constantly reshaping our world.
We believe the next key breakthrough isn’t a tool, process or technology. We believe it already exists in all of us - our brains. We believe by better understanding our brains, and by extension our motivations, needs and natures, we’ll unlock the next great breakthrough. The Brain House exists to expand this pursuit beyond the halls of academia and medicine and center it in the world of capital markets and innovation needed to create a healthier, more resilient, and a more productive future.
The Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative and partners invite you to The Brain House. The Brain House will have daily conversations on a range of topics, broadcast insights to audiences around the world, and serve as a collaborative hub where stakeholders from diverse sectors and geographies converge to:
Build an inclusive and resilient global coalition prepared to lead transformative change.
Understand the connections between the brain, climate change, population aging, AI and global issues reshaping our world.
Share urgent, actionable solutions to today’s global crises while driving productivity and boosting GDP.
Mobilize resources and innovation at scale to meet the magnitude of our shared challenges.
