Management Board of Challenge:Future

Andreja Kodrin MSc, President “We are greatly enjoying global connectedness now but our connections are so fragile at the same time. Imagine that we are still depending on hundred years old production models, that we still use the same energy sources as our grandgrandgrand parents and that already one global pandemic can separate us apart …”

Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva, Vice President Knowledge & Development “Connecting is what we do as humans, our basic need and right. The question is: what do we want to connect for?”

Metka Ule Novak, Vice President Operations & Marketing “…did we learn anything from the past? Do we learn anything from present? …imagine the future of travelling: pandemic diseases, lack of oil supplies, high costs of transportation…will I be able to shake hands with friend in New Zealand ever again? … there must be some better future of connecting out there…”

Olga Veligurska, Vice President Alliances “Challenge:Future is the right place for young creative minds to apply erudition, stretch imagination, and come up with unique and unexpected solutions for sustainable future”

Matjaž Krajnc "We are already connected in so many ways, but there are still undiscovered possibilities. Take the challenge!"

Damjan Obal "Is future bringing us closer or further apart? Let´s make the whole planet a global forum! How could we develop channels and means so that even the technological non-developed regions could actively participate."

Maggie Peng “No one can change the world by him/herself, yet our world is transforming around us at rapid pace.I believe this transformation process is driven by the power of connecting. We connect with resources to expand, with other people to form culture, with knowledge to create … We have connected to shape the world we live in today and struggled to overcome those challenges that are too intricately linked with different aspects of our lives."

Špela Majer "Making it real - How can we enrich the quality of virtual interaction, so that they would feel closer to the physical interaction."

Max Petroff "Challenge:future is all about fun."

Alja Sulčič "Challenge:Future is a global online meeting point for us, future leaders of tomorrow, who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo and want to make real world changes. Are you ready to start shaping your present?"
