Dr. Gogo will join world leaders discussing best strategies for addressing essential agenda items:
- Driving Sustained Economic Progress
- Navigating a Multipolar and Multi-conceptual World
- Overcoming Divisions in Society
- Shaping the Agile Governance of Technology
Dr. Gogo was named a 2014 Social Entrepreneur of the Year by the Schwab Foundation, a member of the World Economic Forum community. Since then, he has regularly contributed to the Forum community, presenting at the 2015 Annual meeting on the role of businesses in the social agenda (see video) and serving on its Global Agenda Council on Social Innovation and the Meta-Council on the Illicit Economy. Dr. Gogo was also an instrumental team member in creating the Meta-Council’s capstone briefing paper on the state of the illicit economy. “Over the past few years, I have become truly impressed with the depth and breadth of expertise readily available at World Economic Forum events. The degree of openness and intellectual rigor world leaders provide sets a great stage for transformative conversations,” Dr. Gogo said.
