They’ll be joined by experts in sectors from AI, health tech and architecture, to philosophy and film. Attendees will contribute to the co-creation of a short film as well as the Embassy of the Future Manifesto, articulating a shared vision for a regenerative and enlightened future. Applications are welcomed from individuals aligned with this mission.
