A compact for inclusive growth

From the exponential improvements in artificial intelligence to the resurgence of industrial policies, recent trends in innovation and economic policy, along with long-term underinvestment in human development, threaten to widen global inequality and to thwart the progress of the past decades in the fight against poverty. To address these challenges, the meeting will explore the implications of these transformative trends for innovation, human capital and entrepreneurship. The deliberations will aim to support a constructive dialogue about key opportunities, which include emerging economic corridors, technology partnerships and the imperative of job-creating growth.
