Keynote Debate: Challenges and opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs in the current environment

Description

In just a couple of years we have moved from a world of global certainties to a fragmented environment of global uncertainties. The challenges for businesses and entrepreneurs seem to be multiplying and to become more formidable by the day. Problems and threats - including inflation and economic downturn, supply chain insecurity, scarcity of energy and natural resources, wars, economic sanctions and regulatory trade barriers - join new challenges such as increased customer expectations and environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements.

A panel of renowned entrepreneurs and business leaders will share its views on how it is possible to survive, and even to be successful, in such an environment.
