Cascais – Portugal

September 30th & October 1st – 2021

The Summit

Around the world, citizens expect more from politicians and governments across a wide range of issues. From ethics and transparency to the climate crisis, to the impacts of automation and artificial intelligence on the future of work, to combating “fake news…” The Future of Politics Summit will provide a unique forum, bringing together political, business, and social leaders from across the globe to address these and other cutting-edge issues head on.

Up to now, political leaders had no single, non-official event allowing them relevant, across the ideological spectrum, debates on today’s most pressing issues. The Cascais Summit on the Future of Politics will fill that gap.

As host and main sponsor, the Municipality of Cascais (20 Km from Lisbon), together with the Advanced Leadership Foundation, are working together to organize the Summit.
