EBC Executive Director, Frédéric Destrebecq, took part in the Panel 1 on ‘Trends in Mental Health Innovation‘, diving into the evolution of mental health innovations, perceptions and investments over the last decade.

Academia, corporate leaders, finance executives, and trailblazing entrepreneurs coalesced for a dynamic set of panel discussions on The Evolution of Mental Health at the House of Trust event during the 2024 World Economic Forum!

Participants explored the transformative journey of mental health, exploring its modern evolution, the pivotal role of businesses in promoting wellness, the cutting-edge impact of technology and the fusion of ancient wisdom and western medicinal practices.

EBC Executive Director, Frédéric Destrebecq, contributed to the session ‘Building Mental Wealth – threat and possible solutions’, providing an overview about what is mental wealth and how it can be measured and improved.

The event was organized by the Mental Wealth Initiative at the University of Sydney. Our vision is to move towards a mentally and socially thriving world. We believe the wealth of a nation is not just based on economic prosperity. National prosperity must be inclusive of social production and the mental health and wellbeing of communities

Today we face unprecedented challenges as climate change re-shapes our borders and our boundaries. Now, more than ever, we need to bring people together from all industries to collaborate and find solutions to protect and enhance the mental wealth of our nations.
