Two time Gemini award winning writer and broadcaster
Evan Solomon spends his professional life exploring the
world of innovation, advances in technology, changing
business paradigms, and creative approaches to managing
and solving the complex challenges of sustainability
in the 21st century.
A long-time print and broadcast journalist, Evan is
the co-host of the two weekly news and current affairs
shows CBC News: Sunday and CBC News: Sunday Night. [more]
He is also the host of the Gemini award winning CBC
Newsworld show about ideas in print called HotType.
For four years he was the host of the Gemini award-winning
show Futureworld, which explored the latest developments
in technology and innovation. He also produced and
hosted a series called The Change Makers, and a series
for PBS in America called Masters of Technology. Solomon
was the co-founder, and for eight years the editor-in-chief,
of Shift magazine, an award-winning international
magazine about technology and culture. Most recently,
he co-founded The Ingenuity Project, a dynamic new
series that gathers the best and brightest minds from
around the world in order to generate new solutions
to the most pressing issues of our time. As part of
this project, Solomon is the co-editor and writer of
the best-selling book Fueling the Future: How the
Battle Over Energy Is Changing Everything, which
was nominated of the National Business Book of the
Year in 2004 and the National Science Award in 2004.
He is also the co-editor and writer of Feeding
the Future: From Fat to Famine, How to Solve the World’s
Food Crisis, released in 2005.
Solomon’s insightful views dispel many of the
myths and hype not only surrounding the digital world
but human progress in general – presenting a
unique, realistic picture of where things now stand,
and where they may be headed.
