Global Connect

About this Track:

Connectivity has been the defining characteristic of technology evolution. The Pandemic brought our 24/7 rapid pace of lifestyle to a screeching halt. While we collectively felt we were not indomitable, the human grit made us come together stronger and better to succeed at rethinking our priorities. Our progress is increasingly interdependent on sharing our creativity, education, research, scientific, and technological innovations.

In the Global Connectivity track, we explore how investors are connecting with entrepreneurs who are building scalable solutions for the most pressing problems across verticals. How companies are adapting to the new work environment and realigning, retraining, and retaining their human resource talent. And how global regions are adopting conducive policies to promote their natural and human resources, promote investments, and facilitate trade and talent for collaborative growth.
