Congress Centre, conference hall B3
In partnership with PwC

It is hard to argue with the principle, “entities should not be multiplied without necessity” when it comes to spurring economic recovery. A key issue for policymakers and business leaders is to identify what the priorities should be, and what hindrance to business growth can be eliminated. How might recovery measures offer an opportunity to adjust and rebalance the relationship between the public and private sectors, between business and society, between shareholders and stakeholders, and between company employees and management? What investments should be prioritized, and how might accelerating digital transformation offer solutions? And should innovation and creativity be viewed as the most important criteria for a successful business in the post-COVID era?
