WELCOME FROM SUMMIT CHAIRS |
Dear
Welcome to Melbourne 2010 –
Knowledge Cities World Summit, to be
hosted by the City of Melbourne and
the World Capital Institute from
16-19 November at the Melbourne
Convention Centre. This Summit will
provide an inspiring platform for
intercultural learning and the
exchange of ideas and experiences.
‘Knowledge’ is a resource, which
relies on the past for a better
future. In the 21st century, more
than ever before, cities around the
world rely on the knowledge of their
citizens, their institutions, their
firms and enterprises. Knowledge
assists in attracting investment,
qualified labour, students and
researchers. Knowledge also creates
local life spaces and professional
milieus, which offer quality of life
to the citizens who are seeking to
cope with the challenges of modern
life in a competitive world.
