Programme - Global Business Leaders Conference
Business and Society: A Force for Good
Venue: Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Safinah ballroom
We live in a time of transformation.
Markets and technologies are moving faster, and the world is getting smaller and more interconnected. The challenges facing governments, businesses and society are bigger, with new risks are emerging, and existent, persistent risks are more acute.
This is a defining moment for business and society, to refresh and renew our social contract.
We have seen that business can be a powerful force for good. Globalization brings leaders together to deliver more equitable and sustainable growth.
Digital transformation unleashes exciting new possibilities, touching almost every aspect of modern day business and society. It holds an incredible ability to enable positive social, environmental and financial outcomes.
We discuss insights and strategies in this digital age.

09:00 - 09:10 | Welcome & Overview |
09:10 - 09:40 | Business and Government Collaboration in an Age of Disruption In 2017, the WEF listed three responsibilities every government has for its citizens: to protect; to provide, and to invest in the people. As we confront global challenges in a constantly changing society, needs and expectations for governments and businesses have evolved. How can government leaders invest and equip their people and businesses, to achieve their full potential? In this session we will explore the nature of these changes and how leaders can respond to the shifting roles of government, business and the public. Moderator |
09:40 - 10:20 | Blue Ocean Shift: Creating a Future of Growth and Hope for Businesses and Society Our common humanity unites us in the aspiration to create a better world. A world beyond zero-sum competition,where one’s gain can only be achieved at the expense of another, to a world where businesses act as a force for good, creating new frontiers of growth, jobs and hope and a larger economic pie for all – what we refer to as blue oceans.
