Global Business Leaders Conference & INSEAD Alumni Forum Europe 2012 20, 21 & 22 June at Penha Longa Resort in Sintra (Lisbon), Portugal






The INSEAD Global Business Leaders Conference “Time to Reform: Building European Competitiveness through Effective Capital and Talent Markets”, is to be held in Sintra (Lisbon), Portugal, on 20 June 2014. It will be an intense half-day session that will bring together senior business leaders, public policy makers and world-class academia representatives to discuss the future of European competitiveness.

The Conference will debate on issues such as the dramatic changes in the financial system that have affected European businesses since the onset of the 2008 crisis. A second focus point, no less important, will be the development of an internal market for talent in Europe, gauging the effect of technological change onto the training system and its ability to appropriately match skills with opportunities.

The Global Business Leaders Conference has been placed in the broader context of the INSEAD European Competitiveness Initiative (IECI), a research and outreach initiative involving more than 25 leading faculty members led by Javier Gimeno, Aon Dirk Verbeek Chaired Professor in International Risk and Strategic Management. The goal of the initiative is to understand and improve the global competitiveness of Europe’s businesses and institutions. It will also honour the memory of the late António Borges (1949-2013), Dean of INSEAD from 1993 to 2000 and one of the most successful Portuguese economists.

The Global Business Leaders Conference is organised in conjunction with the INSEAD Alumni Forum Europe 2014, the annual meeting of the INSEAD alumni community all over the world to be held on 21 & 22 June. Organised by the INSEAD Alumni Association in Portugal, the Forum will be a 2-day programme that will allow you to hear from some of the most successful INSEAD alumni shaping the business landscape in Europe. Exceptionally this year the Forum is open to business executives globally.
