Is Geopolitical 'Coopetition' Possible?

January 19, 2024
09:00–09:45 (Europe/Amsterdam time zone)

About this session

Companies have long practised “coopetition”, the strategy in which rivals compete over market share on the one hand, while cooperating on advancing shared interests on the other. What lessons can be drawn from the private sector on how nations that do not always see eye to eye can find ways to cooperate on shared priorities?

This is a livestreamed session.
