The Aspen Institute 1d ago

A new generation of scientists, founders and technologists are pursuing the unimaginable, working at the edge of climate innovation with plans for AI-driven recycling robots, next-gen nuclear technology and data centers in space. In a series of short talks, they offer a provocative look at the big bets that could redefine how humanity powers and sustains the future. Now in its 21st year, the Aspen Ideas Festival is the Aspen Institute’s signature summer public event. From June 25-July 1, 2025 almost 4,000 leaders, innovators, fellows, scholars, and attendees gathered in the Rocky Mountains to engage in deep and inquisitive discussion of the issues that shape our lives and challenge our times, spanning politics, business, science, the arts, education, and more. #AspenIdeas For more information about the Aspen Ideas Festival, visit https://www.aspenideas.org.
