Next Gen Innovation
When Everything Depends On Ingenuity

 

The Global Peter Drucker Forum is delighted to double down on the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics by choosing the role of innovation and technological change in driving economic growth and shaping the future of the world we live in as a central theme for 2026. 


“Growth is created by the emergence of new talents and ideas, which challenge yesterday’s innovators and force them to keep innovating, or be pushed out of the market – with the newcomers eclipsing them.”

– Philippe Aghion, 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics

The large organization has to learn to innovate, or it won’t survive.

– Peter Drucker Managing in the Next Society, 2002
