27^th Annual Economist Government Roundtable

Henley & Partners is delighted to receive an invitation to participate in the 27^th Annual Economist Government Roundtable titled ‘The great transition: geopolitics, environment, technology’, organized by The Economist Events and taking place in Athens in October 2023.

Overview:

A pandemic, a war in Europe, geopolitical upheavals, and energy and environmental crises: the world has come across unpredictable risks recently, while threats that were considered eliminated seem to be back. At the same time, important transformations shaping the 21^st century are currently in process, signifying an era of great transition:

• While the war in Ukraine has led to a fragmented and polarized world, at the same time, we see countries striving for democracy, peace, and co-operative solutions.
• The role of hydrocarbons will still prevail for a certain period; however, green transition and electrification are gathering pace.
• Technology continues to radically transform the world, making digital health, the digitalization of government services, and AI chatbots part of everyday reality.

Speaker:

• Dr. Christian H. Kaelin TEP, FIMC
