It is time to restart the economy. For too long, the economic system has been shaped by relentless accumulation, exclusion, and exploitation. But what if we stopped, rebalanced, and restored?
From November 28 to 30, 2025, in Castel Gandolfo (Rome), Restarting the Economy: The EoF Global Event 2025 will take place - a proposal for celebrating the Jubilee of Hope in an innovative way addressed to young economists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to rethink and relaunch the economy with a vision based on justice, peace, and care.
Inspired by the Jubilee 2025 and the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures, this event aims to restore the central value of land, labor, and the dignity of time, reaffirming that the future economy cannot be built on exploitation and inequality, but must be based on fair resource distribution, the right to rest, and the renewal of social and environmental bonds.
“Today, a new economy inspired by Francis of Assisi can and must become an economy of friendship with the Earth and an economy of peace,” was the call made by Pope Francis to the young people of the Economy of Francesco, who have embraced this invitation and will gather in Castel Gandolfo to continue their journey of reflection and action.
For three days, some of the world’s leading economists, entrepreneurs, and scholars will engage in discussions with the young participants of the Economy of Francesco, addressing key challenges for the future, including ecological debt, social justice, dignified work, the care economy, integral disarmament, inclusive finance, common goods, and sustainable economic relationships.
The event program includes 12 thematic sessions, workshops, moments of reflection, and spaces for dialogue, open to young innovators, experts, and all those who see the economy as a tool to build a fairer and more sustainable world.
“Now more than ever, it is essential to restore what has been taken: the land, the fruits of labor, the dignity of time. Restarting the economy means breaking free from hyper-productivity and inequality, rebuilding a balance that respects both people and the planet,” say the event organizers.
Restarting the Economy: The EoF Global Event 2025 is an opportunity for anyone who wants to contribute to this transformation. It is a moment for dialogue and proposals to shape a new economic paradigm - one that places people before profit, time before haste, and justice above exploitation.
