The four invited scientists - among them one from Denmark - are all considered to be the strongest scientific minds in Europe and represent the future of scientific leadership.
Established in 2007 as the foremost global gathering on science, technology and innovation, the Annual Meeting of the New Champions convenes the next generation of fast-growing enterprises shaping the future of business and society together with leaders from major multinationals as well as government, media, academia and civil society.
