Exploring new ideas across tech, governance, philosophy and culture in an era of Great Transformations.
About us
The Berggruen Institute’s mission is to develop foundational ideas and, through them, shape political, economic and social institutions for the 21st century. In the age of technology and globalization—as our traditions are challenged, new social orders are emerging and political institutions falter—critical analysis of our most fundamental beliefs and the systems founded on them is required. Great Transformations are reshaping human life, social organization, and the world. These are epochal changes, not incremental, and are taking place now, in our lives and our children’s. The Berggruen Institute seeks to deepen understanding of these great transformations, the ethical responses they demand, the social decisions they make possible, and how they are seen from different civilizational perspectives: Beyond Human: Science and technology, including especially artificial intelligence and bioengineering that can potentially redesign life itself. Innovating Culture: Cultural change, including the influence of both globalization and creativity in science, art, and social life – and attempts to resist each. Resilient Governance: The pursuit of more effective governance, including politics and social institutions. Geo-Politics and the New Economy: The global intersection of geopolitics and economics, including possible transition beyond capitalism.

Last week, we launched something new in Chicago: a space where art, technology, and imagination collided to shape the future. TECHNĒ Chicago 2025 was more than a symposium — it was a platform for interdisciplinary conversation, creative exploration, and bold collaboration. We were honored to welcome visionaries like Claire Webb from the Berggruen Institute, Eduardo Kac, Art Blocks Inc. CEO Erick Calderon Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago's Nancy Kawalek, and Aniko Berman, Director of Art of This Millennium Gallery, alongside artists, technologists, curators, collectors, and institutional leaders who are building the cultural ecosystems of tomorrow. From quantum futures to AI creativity, from new funding models to immersive storytelling, the conversations that happened here were just the beginning. Thank you to our speakers, our partners, our artists, and everyone who believes that the future of creativity is collaborative and radically imaginative. And thank you to the amazing TECHNĒ Team - Andrew Goldstein Vlad Avesalon and Megan Troglio 🚀 The future is already here. Let's keep building it — together. #TECHNEChicago #ArtAndTechnology #FutureOfArt #Innovation #CreativeEconomy #DigitalCulture #QuantumArt #Web3Art #CulturalLeadership

“I came here out of curiosity—but I stayed because I saw something visionary.” This is a project about rethinking the rules of life on Earth. Not just for humans, but with all the other beings we share this planet with. From microbiomes to megafauna, we’re already part of a multispecies community. So how do we live like it? Join us in imagining a future where humans are not at the center—but in relationship.
