Goodbye

We would like to thank the 700 participants for two days of  inspiration and enriching encounters and discussions. We addressed the question of what do we need to do to avoid waking up to a European economy home alone and incapable of fulfilling its demands?

Distinguished personalities from business, politics, science and society shared their views on the most pressing issues of our time on stage and discussed solutions for the future in the sessions.

We look forward to welcoming you next year in Lucerne on 26 & 27 November 2025.

Democracy: Lazy Friends, Arrogant Foes and the Rise of Super Citizens

We know that democracy is more complicated and expensive than any other form of government, but it’s the best we have so far. The world is complex, with no easy fixes, rapidly changing with no predictability. Today’s society is the opposite of what the brain wants: simple and predictable. So, every day, we are in a race to reconcile expectations and reality.

Beyond Bureaucracy: Rethinking Europe’s Competitive Edge

Global crises, geopolitical shifts, and technological disruptions are challenging Europe. Yet instead of becoming faster, more agile, and more innovative, the continent remains stuck in bureaucratic inertia. How can we overcome this competitive disadvantage? Opinion piece of Anastasia Lemberg-Lvova, Founder De Structura & Participant Basecamp 2022.

A strong Europe is competitive: what can we learn from small nations?

In a globalised world facing increasingly complex problems, small states could play a key role. Author James Breiding looks at how countries such as Denmark, Singapore and Switzerland are models of innovation and competitiveness. 'The future will be written by small nations because they are more flexible, more experimental and better at building social consensus', says Breiding.

We say goodbye for now and thank the 700 participants for two days of inspiration and enriching encounters and discussions. Giving the next generation a voice, asking the right and important questions and working together to find answers - that was our goal and we achieved it. Over 25 countries came together in Lucerne and we took the first step towards a European conference. We look forward to welcoming you to Lucerne next year on 27 & 28 November 2024.
