Caring About Solutions: Economist Dennis Snower turns 70

October 13, 2020. Zurich – Dennis Snower turns 70 – an important voice on future issues in the media.

Years ago Media Tenor created the FAZ ranking of the most impactful economists, which makes it a special pleasure to say happy birth day to one off the most inspiring. One day after the Nobel Committee announced their preferred choice, Dennis Snower represents one of the rare scientists who, amongst all economists, is not only concerned about challenges and problems but who also goes the extra mile in trying to find and test solutions.

While president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Professor Snower had to build, empower, and lead amazing teams of experts in almost all areas of economic research. Professor Snower created with the T20 Initiative, a unique network of think tanks from all of the G20 countries with the objective of supporting each G20 and G8 summit with feasible suggestions on how specific challenges can be met. Over the years, Professor Snower and the team around Dr. Markus Engels grew into the role of orchestrating scientific excellence from all sectors of science.

Walking his talk, Professor Snower engaged with the media on a global scale in a way that, unlike most scientists, always quoted or shared his research with an amazingly high percentage of future-related thought. Slide 4 illustrates this competence in this area.
