A better world within our grasp?

How can the benefits of technology be used to reduce global inequality? That was the question explored by CSEM in Bern on October 4 at the ‘Technologies for a brighter world’ conference. Along with experts from the Swiss R&D center, the participants heard contributions from Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Klaus Schönenberger, director of the EssentialTech programme at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), and Arturo Vittori, co-founder of Warka Water.
