Three CKGSB professors are speaking at this week’s Summer Davos session in Dalian. The ninth Annual Meeting of the New Champions, or ‘Summer Davos’ to use its more colloquial name, runs from September 9-11 in the Chinese port city of Dalian, under the heading “Charting a New Course for Growth”.
Since the global financial crisis, economies around the world have experienced lower growth in their productive capacity. Without technological progress, investment in productive capital and proactive responses to demographic shifts, the world will face a future of slow and imbalanced growth.
This event is the World Economic Forum’s global meeting on innovation, science and technology and convenes more than 1,500 participants from business, government, research and media from over 90 countries for an intense three-day program designed to explore innovative and entrepreneurial responses to the new growth challenge.
