Our discussions centered on potential collaborations between the parliaments of EU candidate countries and institutions in Brussels under coordination of K4I Forum in the European Parliament.

As Europe’s Innovators Magazine celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025, we are proud to mark this milestone with a special edition dedicated to the inaugural World Future Forum. Produced in collaboration with Allied4Future (A4F), the Forum was held in the stunning city of Lisbon, under the theme “A Conversation That Will Define Tomorrow’s World.” Notably, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen heralded the launch of A4F’s groundbreaking initiatives, including the Technology Collaboration Labs and Sustainable Finance Goals (SFGs). This special edition features insights from global luminaries: scientists, technologists, visionary business leaders, investors, and policymakers who gathered to accelerate progress toward a sustainable future.

Highlights include interviews with influential figures such as Carlos Moedas, Mayor of Lisbon and former European Commissioner for Innovation; Maria Da Graça Carvalho, Portugal’s Minister for Environment and Energy; Shiva Dustdar, Head of the EIB Institute; and esteemed leaders from Delft University of Technology, Rector Tim van der Hagen and Marceline du Prie; with A4F’s Roland Strauss also offering critical perspectives on transformative issues shaping our future.
