Programme Verticals

Globalization:  

Fueled by fast-paced changes in technology and the increased mobility of goods, services, capital and labor, over the past decades, globalization has greatly changed economies, societies and the natural environment and has made our world more interconnected than ever before. Foreign Direct Investment:  

Global foreign direct investment is shifting, heavily impacted and shaped by geopolitical disruptions such as the war in Ukraine, high food and energy prices and debt pressures. Industry trends underline key challenges for international businesses and cross border investments that require combined global efforts especially for developing countries. Key emerging markets will play a vital role in driving investments in priority sectors. 

Digital Transformation:  

More than 75 bn internet-connected devices are expected by 2025, up from 30 bn today. The accelerated growth in the integration of digital technology in all areas of business will improve productivity and economic growth. The digital transformation will ultimately automate processes, reduce waste, and optimize supply chain management. 

Emerging Markets: 

Emerging markets today are predicted to represent 6 out of the 7 largest economies by 2050. As existing and new emerging markets enhance their local capabilities, they will become an integral part of the global economy.
