The forum agenda will be centered around six main pillars over the course of three days: “Technology Advanced” takes a closer look at permanent changes to the human-technology nexus; “A Sustainable World” will explore the intersection of capitalism and climate; “Markets and Investing” poses the question of whether investors, in their inexorable pursuit of growth opportunities, can shape a more resilient global economy; “Power and Trade Flows” gathers global power brokers to share their vision of the road ahead; “The Changing Consumer” examines the future of commerce; and “A More Inclusive World” will offer ideas for healing fissures in a post-pandemic society.
