Who Is Jacque Fresco?

Jacque Fresco – Designing the future!
Guest of honor

Born in 1916, Jacque Fresco is an industrial engineer, architectural designer, social engineer, futurist and thinker who is referred to as today's Leonardo da Vinci and compared to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller; he lives in Florida.

With numerous documentaries, award-winning projects and patents, Jacque Fresco advises heads of state and various institutions. Jacque Fresco, who carries out The Venus Project with his associate Roxanne Meadows, is one of the most experienced and respected living futurists.

With his social consciousness taking shape after the Great Depression of 1926-30, Jacque Fresco designs what a new world civilization could look like if we used the knowledge we have correctly.

Fresco argues that the problems humanity faces and its concerns about the future can no longer be solved with "scarcity-based" systems and approaches. He proposes building from the ground up a culture that holds great human problems such as hunger, poverty and war to be unacceptable and preventable.

Fresco also models and demonstrates in concrete terms what he thinks and says.

Today, many people consider it necessary to increase sensitivity to ethical values and to establish an international legal order for a sustainable global future. Fresco says, "if we really want to put an end to existing global and social problems, we must accept the world and its resources as the common heritage of all humanity"...

Arguing that we can overcome problems by facing them in order to build a global, resource-based civilization, Fresco will explain how this can be done and what awaits us in the future at the Futurists Summit...
