“World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab says we are moving from an era of capitalism to an era of talentism. Speaking today at the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, Schwab was asked about the roles of innovation and regulation in what the moderator called ‘governance 4.0.’ The WEF founder said that with the fusion of corporation and state, aka ‘public-private cooperation’ we would see a shift from ‘the era of capitalism to the era of talentism,’ where innovation becomes the ‘key competitive factor.’”
