"Who Will Own the Future" – Professor Daron Acemoglu’s First Public Lecture in Bulgaria

On June 17, 2025, world-renowned economist and Nobel Laureate in Economics Prof. Daron Acemoglu will visit Bulgaria at the invitation of the Green Transition Forum and Dir.BG, to deliver one of the country's most significant public lectures ever hosted.

This event is a rare opportunity to hear live from one of the most influential thinkers in modern economics — MIT professor, bestselling author, and one of the world’s most cited economists.

Why shouldn’t you miss this lecture?

In times when technology, artificial intelligence, and innovation are fundamentally transforming economies and societies, Prof. Acemoglu will raise the essential questions shaping our collective future:

📌 How is technological progress affecting social inequality?
📌 Why are institutional reforms critical to ensure the fair distribution of the benefits of innovation?
📌 What will the labor market and society look like tomorrow?

The lecture, titled "Who Will Own the Future?", offers a provocative perspective on how technology can be a powerful driver of prosperity—but also a source of new divides if not guided by strong institutions and sound policies.

Professor Daron Acemoglu is the co-author of the landmark books “Why Nations Fail” and “Power and Progress”, both offering deep insights into how institutions and technological change shape the world we live in.
