In his keynote, Prof. Autor will talk about the effects of automation, digitalization and international trade on the labor market and outline the future of work. These research findings will be expanded in a panel discussion with former State Secretary Mauro Dell’Ambrogio, UBS Group CEO Sergio P. Ermotti, and writer and columnist Ferdinando Giugliano. A dialogue between academia, politics, and business in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland to reach out to new minds and grasp the potential of new ideas.
