Abstract

When the COVID-19 disease became a pandemic in Winter/Spring 2020 and one country after the other installed far-reaching lockdowns, it soon became clear that this was a crisis never experienced so far for all parts of our life. This was the starting point of this book. The authors of this chapter and editors of the book point to the unprecedented challenges regarding the economy, democracy, (mental) health, and social life and outline what happened in the years 2020–2022 till the publication of the book. The most fundamental perception that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic and that is reflected in other chapters is that we live in an era of predictable unpredictability. The most important challenge for the future is how to make societies and the economies resilient to crisis yet to come. This chapter points to entrepreneurs as solution leaders. In a time of great uncertainty entrepreneurs are the ones who are used to live with great uncertainty and take the challenge to look for solutions.
