IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORLD LOOKS LIKE, THINK AGAIN! . Hans Rosling Director of Gapminder Foundation and Professor of International Health Karolinska Institutet Sweden Professor Hans Rosling´s award-winning lecture on world development has been labeled ”humorous, yet deadly serious”. You have never seen data on global health, poverty, economic trends, social and environmental change presented like this. Guaranteed. We predict that many in the audience may find that their world view is some decades too old.

In 2007 Google acquired the software Trendalyzer that he uses in his InnoTown 08 presentation to show the trends of economic, social and environmental change that take place in the world.
