Most recently, Jeremy has been advising the European Parliament, the European Commission and various European and Asian heads of state, where his own concept of the Third Industrial Revolution has been taken on board.
In his role as president of the Foundation of Economic Trends, Jeremy has written more than 20 books – translated into nearly 40 languages – that are required reading in various government bodies, corporations and universities.
