The Post Covid Era: Redefining and
Redesigning the Global Economy
February 9-10, 2021
Partners
Overview
In less than a year the Covid-19 crisis has transformed the world. Indeed, the impact of the pandemic is already monumental; and its social, economic, and geopolitical implications will linger for years to come. While the global economy is poised to face the deepest recession in peacetime history, Covid-19 has magnified global trends that were already brewing.
As countries around the world are focused on crises relief efforts, we believe that a parallel intellectual initiative should be underway for the transition to a post-virus order. We hope that convening this symposium with multistakeholders, will help to strengthen our collective commitment to creating a better future. Although we will miss the conviviality of our past face-to-face events, we hope to make up for this loss with stimulating online discussions that help free our imagination!
