Ambition. It's the reason we're all here, at the 11th Annual Skoll World Forum, focused on the most ambitious endeavor imaginable: solving the world's most pressing problems.
In this video we take a look at some of humanities most ambitious accomplishments to date and hear from voices of the Skoll World Forum community about what the future holds.
Highlights this year include talks from Malala Yousafzai, Sir Richard Branson, Jeff Skoll, Tony Elumelu, Sir Ronald Cohen, Sally Osberg, Marcus Bleasdale, the presentation of the 2014 Skoll Awards For Social Entrepreneurship and performances from Playing For Change and the Grammy Award-Winning Artists Miri Ben-Ari and more.
