Keynote speech

The global economic scenario

The global landscape is experiencing continuous tensions. The latent conflicts of this century are turning into “hot” crises without simple solutions. On one hand, the main trend on our planet remains the significant development of East Asia, and the unprecedented inclusion of hundreds of millions of people into a sphere of prosperity and growth. On the other hand, economic, industrial, and technological progress is increasingly viewed through political and power perspectives, particularly in the tension between China and the United States. States and companies must learn to navigate this increasingly contested world, between the return of military instruments and the impact of economic wars.
