EO NEW YORK GLOBAL UNIVERSITY We live in a world of narratives. The EO New York Global University will explore the fundamental narratives that govern leading entrepreneurs around the globe. Technological advancements like the internet of things are driving the marginal costs of goods and services to near zero, while the collaborative commons and the rise of the sharing economy are challenging capitalism as the organizing framework of economic activity. What opportunities are being created during this shift? Who will capitalize on what comes next? Global population growth, income inequality, climate change and sectarian conflicts have been straining the current system of global governance, and driving apocalyptic narratives. How can we transform these narratives to address the coming changes as opportunities rather than crises? Our University learning program will explore the key factors contributing to the changes in our understanding of economics, society and the environment. We will illuminate the issues, present credible alternatives and explore the disruptive opportunities. Scientists, artists, economists, politicians, pundits and fellow entrepreneurs will share their insights on these topics, while our breakout series will create an interactive environment for deeper exploration. 5
