Introduction
In recent years the world has witnessed the emergence of new technologies and industries following the beginning of the digital revolution in the late 20th century. Indeed, over the last two decades we have already seen many developments in what can now be called: „The Sustainable Revolution„, where governments, corporations and civil society have been working relentlessly to achieve a sustainable future for the global community. In addition, a significant change in the meaning of the term „Sustainability„ has brought significant change into the way business will be done in the future.These new developments have the potential to engage in new emerging economies (such as: green energies & renewable resources and sustainable agriculture and Tourism) whilst promoting a global and equal access to education, gender equality and youth empowerment. In light of these important developments, the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy in partnership with other leading organizations initiated the Berlin Economic Forum 2014-24 to further promote and support sustainable economies, technologies and industries in the 21st century.
The inaugural event of the Berlin Economic Forum 2014-24 will be exceptional, as the city of Berlin and the World, celebrate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This historical event has highlighted the need for global interdependence and has initiated a new era of economic cooperation between all sectors.
