WIF 2018 – Global Leaders Investment Summit – Part I: Investment in a new era of globalization
The Summit convenes Heads of State and Government and CEOs of global companies to share their vision for the future.
Their insights will set the tone for the rest of the Forum and inform its outcomes.
The first part of the Summit will consider the backlash against globalization stemming from its unequal developmental
impact, the risks in protectionism in both trade and investment, and related challenges to multilateralism. The international
community needs to ensure that this backlash does not impede the advancement of the SDGs.
WIF 2018 – Global Leaders Investment Summit – Part II:Investment in a new era of industrialization
The second Summit will look into the impact of new industrialization. New industrialization (based on digitalization, robotics
and big data) is bound to affect all aspects of the way in which goods and services are produced and consumed globally,
with profound implications for trade, investment and development. The international community needs to ensure that new
industrialization supports, not impedes, the advancement of the SDGs.
