On October 26 at UCCA, China´s leading contemporary art museum, WISE gathers a group of domestic and international thinkers for a series of keynote speeches and talks that will give you the toolkit to wise up.

在世界新议题急速涌现的当下，WISE诚邀国内外思想家于10月26日齐聚UCCA当代艺术中心，进行一系列主题演讲和对谈，为观众解锁探索世界的未来智库。

WISE puts “the human” at the center of discussions ranging from technology, music, art, fashion, entertainment, business, media, and science. Topics range from how AI can help us to solve world hunger, if the robots will take over our jobs, what we can learn about the future by looking into the past, how to find China´s first international superstar, and the future of design and creativity. Investors will share new ideas about the future of cultural and tech industries and startups, while China’s first surfer will share her vision for an environmentally-conscious China and much more. WISE is a platform for big ideas as well as practical knowledge.

WISE 是一个为宏大想象和实践知识设置的平台。对于WISE而言，“人”始终位于讨论的中心。本次讨论涉及科技、音乐、艺术、时尚、娱乐、商业、媒体和科学多个领域，主题从人工智能解决饥荒的处方、机器人取代人类的可能、运用历史透视未来的方法，延伸至如何识别中国首位国际巨星以及设计与创造力的未来等。在这场对话中，观众不仅可以聆听投资者们分享文化和科技产业的未来前景和创业新思路，还可以走进中国第一位冲浪员所描摹的世界图景中，畅想环保意识深植人心的未来社会。

WISE – The Future Think Tank was founded by Philipp Grefer in Beijing in 2018 to spark cross-sectoral dialogue about digital life, style, culture, business, science and technology. WISE invites and connects thinkers and doers from different industries online and offline to discuss essential questions about how we want and should live in the future.
