Prime Movers Lab Partners Join AEI Podcast to Discuss Life in 2050
We’ve been thrilled by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received from investors, founders, and the scientific community in response to our Breakthrough Science Roadmap that we published in early December.
This week, Prime Movers Lab Chief Futurist Ramez Naam and Vice President of Engineering & Partner Christie Iacomini joined the American Enterprise Institute’s Political Economy podcast with James Pethokoukis to discuss the roadmap and what the future will look like in 2050. You can listen to the full podcast here or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Ramez and Christie highlighted how Prime Movers Lab and our portfolio companies are working to address global challenges through scientific breakthroughs and technology innovation. During the coming decades, humanity will need to address challenges that include climate change, poverty, feeding the world, access to water, and meeting the rising demand from billions of people entering the global middle class for more physical goods and services of all types. At the same time, human aspirations to live longer, healthier lives, and to surpass their current limitations will continue to expand. The roadmap of technologies outlines the possibilities we see for breakthrough science to tremendously bolster human wellbeing and help billions live in a world of abundance.
While we know that not all of these breakthroughs will arrive in the exact years we’ve identified here. Some will take longer, or simply not occur in this timeframe. Other breakthroughs will surprise us by arriving sooner than we expect. Nevertheless, this technology roadmap illustrates the possibilities we see for innovating to increase human prosperity while addressing the world’s greatest challenges. We hope these possibilities inspire you as they inspire us.
If you missed our Breakthrough Science Roadmap when it was published in December, you can find the interactive tool here, and don’t forget to share your feedback with us. We plan on updating the roadmap throughout the year and want to continue this dialogue with the Prime Movers Lab community.
