"We will unpack the complexities of geopolitics at the intersection of climate, trade and technology, catalyse ideas for a climate-neutral economy, review the dynamics of the financial system, and expedite actionable solutions fueled by a new wave of innovation," Allied4Future says in a press release for its World Future Forum, set to take place in Lisbon, Portugal, in November.

The forum, organized by the Portuguese government and Taguspark, aims to bring together business leaders, scientists, investors, and policymakers from around the world to create a sustainable world, the Independent reports.

"It's a beautiful country to come and talk about the future, to start joining efforts for a better future, to make sure we find new business, new startups, new business angels that might invest in new ideas, because we need to create a better future for the next generations," Taguspark CEO Eduardo Baptista Correia tells Innovators Magazine.
