contests, etc., through area-specific, voluntary student
associations.

"It is both a challenge and opportunity
for the business sector to make the
existing unsustainable models of planet
earth redundant. To do this will require
a radically innovative vision backed by
deep commitment for the long term. My
congratulations and best wishes to XUB for
taking this pioneering step of giving young
minds new eyes to see and engage with the
issues that matter the most, not just for
today but for future generations as well”.
