The Next Renaissance

We are a European crew made of artists, academics, entrepreneurs! More than 60
European contributors, from all generations and from 15 countries, came
together to give reasons for action and build a common place for culture,
creativity, and innovation in Europe. In these times of multiplicities of
changes—despite or because—a novel type of change is taking shape. It is a
transition that empowers a real movement, leaving behind hustling from one
state to another: thinking more slowly, more deeply, more from a 360°
perspective, and more caring beyond quick fixes. It is a compelling story
mixing art, tech, and innovation. Together it is all transformative. This book
presents makers and thinkers from the Cultural Creative Sectors and Industries
driving this novel shift towards better systems in technologies and
organizations, in cities and businesses and the public realm: that is what we
call “The Next Renaissance.”
