by Dr. Anil K. Gupta
Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2015
Time: 4:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Venue: Ballroom III, Beijing Marriott Hotel Northeast
In the early 1990s, China was a relatively small economy which had just built its very first highway. Mobile phones were a luxury purchased mainly by rich Europeans. And, social media meant walking over to your neighbor to borrow his/her newspaper. How the world has changed over the last twenty years. Look ahead to 2025.Notwithstanding how much change we have witnessed in recent years, it’s a certainty that the quantum of change over the next ten years will be even greater than over the last twenty. In this talk, Professor Gupta will discuss the six megatrends that will drive this transformation:
-
Restructuring of the global economy;
-
Growing volatility and risks;
-
Divergent demographics;
-
Digitization of everything;
-
Global warming and environmental crunch; and
-
Rise of the empowered individual
The collective impact of these global game changers will be such that the structure and dynamics of the world’s economy, politics, and culture in 2025 will be fundamentally different from what they are today. Professor Gupta will also discuss what these megatrends mean for countries, companies, investors and individuals in terms of who can expect to thrive in the new era.
