Interest in the competition will be maintained in November with the play-offs, which promise to be exciting and open, and could give the final field of participants a very interesting look indeed.

    ÖBKT JAAROVERZICHT 1987 DEELl .RAAD VAN BEHEER .RADIO .TELEVISE Jaaroverzicht 1987. TEN GELEIDE In 1987 heeft de BRT voor zichzelf duidelijk willen uitmaken wat de taak van de openbare omroep in Vlaanderen voor de ko­ mende jaren moet zijn, en wat er nodig is om in vergelijking met vergelijkbare omroepen uit het vergelijkbare buitenland een behoorlijk figuur te slaan. Daarvoor werden realistisch geachte vijfjarenplannen opgesteld. De BRT bereidde zich op de uitdaging van de toekomst voor. Uitgaande van de meest gangbare filosofie terzake en zich gesteund voelend door krachtdadige uitspraken van gezagheb­ bende instanties die een goed functionerende en adequaat ge­ financierde openbare omroep als een conditio sine qua non voor grondige wijzigingen in het mediabestel beschouwen, heeft de BRT gemeend te moeten stellen dat een fatsoenlijke invulling van zijn informerende, vormende en ontspannende opdracht een minimaal bedrag van 7,5 miljard Bfr. vereist, wat toevallig overeenkomt met 75 % van het momenteel in Vlaanderen geïnde kijk- en luistergeld. In 1987 kreeg de BRT daar 52 % van. (Ter illustratie : de Deense omroep DR, werkend voor een bevolking die ongeveer even groot is als de Vlaamse, maar met bijna 1000 tv-uren en 10.000 radio-uren minder dan de BRT, beschikte over bijna tweemaal het inkomen van de BRT). De Nederlandse omroep heeft een budget van ingeveer 20 miljard frank; de BRT beschikt over 5,4 miljard om ook twee tv- netten en vijf radionetten te vullen. Toch is de BRT er jaar na jaar in geslaagd zonder deficit te eindigen. Het budget werd met uiterste zorg beheerd. Van de Doorlichting, die gevraagd was om na te gaan of de BRT zijn mensen en middelen wel efficiënt genoeg gebruikt, werd het eindrapport in maart 1987 ingediend.

Attendees this year included Microsoft founder Bill Gates, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Chinese President Xi Jinping and many others. Kuwait is well represented at this event through ministers, busi- nessmen, and of course, the Kuwait Investment Authority. We participate in open and closed door discussions on topics ranging from the ‘Youth Imperative’ (ie addressing the 13 percent of the world’s youth that is unemployed - 30 percent in our region) to ‘Smart Cities as Innovation Hubs’; from ‘Climate Change’ to the ‘Future of the Digital Economy’. As business leaders of our organizations, we’ve had the privilege of attending and participating in the WEF annual meeting, as well as the regional meeting for many years. It’s safe to say - this year was unlike any other. The overar- ching theme of populism and radical nationalism loomed over every discussion.
