The Trienens Institute will host a seminar series to review global challenges in sustainable development and the creation of a sustainable global economy and ecosystem. Each seminar will focus on a sector of the economy and will begin with a short presentation to review key challenges and pose questions for consideration.

This month’s seminar will explore the service sector and the growth of the virtual economy, examining how virtual value is created and why it increasingly exceeds physical value. We will also look at the infrastructure that underpins the virtual economy and discuss its impact on sustainability and energy needs.
