AENU is here to change that.” Yesterday, Dr. Fabian Heilemann had the honour to give the closing keynote at THE NEW INSTITUTE in Hamburg, elaborating i.e. on the role of regulation in effectively pricing externalities like CO2-emissions to move the goal posts for capital markets. 💵 🎯 Thank you Markus Gabriel and Anna Katsman for bringing together so many brilliant academic minds and thank you Erck Rickmers for making such a bold commitment to building the TNI as a 21st century interdiscplinary think-tank for societal change. 🤝 We are committed to continue this journey in a collaborative approach with The New Institute, building a robust network for interdisciplinary exchange.
