Vertimas - Vokiečių-Anglų - Aphorismen zwischen Partnerstädte

I would say:
The world needs talent

But I agree with aabc, too.

I vote for "...is in need of..", meaning "nötig haben". What I do not know is whether plural of talent is talents (regular) or talent (irregular) without "s". That puzzles me.
Thank you all for your efforts. :-)
