Episode 18: Unlocking a better future through investments in the Brain Economy with Shiva Dustdar

''Our financial system has failed us on so many fronts. 

  • Why do we have the scale of the climate change challenge?
  • Why do we have the health challenge that we are facing?

In order to finance innovation we need to innovate the financial system. Money is not always going where it is most needed. There is a lot of hoarding mentality. There is, as you say, a lot of short-termism. The risk return metrics are built around a rather flawed economic system. Metrics used are actually outdated''.

Our host Linda Jarnhamn talks to Shiva Dustdar, Director Head & Dean of the EIB Institute. Together they will explore questions around:

  1. The concept of the Brain Economy and its connection to the broader economic and health challenges we face
  2. The need to rethink financial structures to foster innovation and address global Brain Health challenges
  3. The importance of systemic investing and the role of diverse perspectives in solving complex issues
