As various technologies converge into a single product or device, the world is becoming a flatter and more horizontal and interconnected community.
The barriers between countries, markets, technologies and even knowledge are crumbling.
Just as the fluttering of a Brazilian butterfly may lead to a typhoon in China, even a small development in a seemingly isolated village can now be a catalyst for seismic change.
In this connected market where the entire world is interlinked, how will the global economic and business architecture evolve and how will the various economic stakeholders survive?

- How can we find the breakthroughs that will enable us to engender a sustainable future? How can Korean society and the Korean economy contribute?
- What must governments do so that sustainability initiatives are successful for all major stakeholders, including the public?
- With the latest IT and energy infrastructure (e.g. Smart Grid, Energy Internet) promising a greener future, what will our future lifestyles (e.g. electric cars, zero-emission homes/buildings) look like?
- How can this new interconnectedness enable all stakeholders to work together and what are the risks and opportunities that lie ahead?
