MVM Future Talks

The most important star experts discussed the topics that affect the future of us all!

The development of technology has moved from “secret” laboratories to our everyday life. The history of humanity is inseparable from the history of inventions. But what will future bring? Innovation is still part of human nature, the desire for discovery and cognition is not simply universal, but has not changed in the past thousand years.

How are innovations born and how can we all become innovators ourselves? - among other topics, the star guests of MVM Future Talks were looking for answers to these on 10 November.

Military technology has always been an important source of development. Later, the special products of the space industry or the military became tools that made everyday life easier and more comfortable over the course of years and decades. Although today, civil technology often also contributes to the development of special, aerospace or military needs.

Can we turn from users of technology into the shapers of it?

How is innovation democratized by the fact that, in addition to large public organizations, private companies can also develop the tools of the future? Does technological space become interactive by making the flow of inventions bidirectional?

On 10 November, the best-known international and Hungarian star experts answered these important questions in the hybrid talk show of MVM Future Talks.

Science celebrity guests included Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and author, renowned science communicator, who has also appeared in The Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons. The event also featured Kevin Kelly, founder of Wired, one of the most important technology magazines globally. We were joined by Imre Porkoláb, military officer, strategist, expert in guerrilla warfare and anti-terrorist warfare, Ernő Duda Jr., the founder of Solvo Biotechnology Zrt., founder and president of the Hungarian Biotechnology Association, Balázs Zábori medical physicist, space engineer, member of the Hungarian delegation of the European Space Agency and Hayley Arceneaux, physician assistant, astronaut, member of SpaceX's Inspiration4 Mission.
