O V E R V I E W & T H E M ENEW HORIZON: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN A CHANGING WORLD

The ASPIRE mo�o, “ACT LOCAL, WIN GLOBAL” is at the heart of the ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

The Conference is underpinned by a belief in the power of the mul�na�onal business servic-es and technology sector to posi�vely trans-form the lives of companies, ci�es and people across the CEE region.

During the course of one day, from morning through un�l late evening, the event brings together under one roof key players in the deve-lopment of the industry - business leaders, service providers and local stakeholders; joined in the evening also by the industry’s best young talent - to explore the immediate and future direc�on of the industry and to work towards a common understanding of the challenges and opportuni�es which face us.

We are supported in this task by essen�al inputs of leading thinkers from the world of econo-mics, poli�cs and business.

THE THEME of the conference is CHANGE. Working from the principle that success locally is dependent on our ability to respond to the changing needs of the glo-bal market, we will seek deep insight into the shi�ing landscape in which business operates globally and explore what must be done at the local level to con�nue to create value and capture opportunity.

Parallel sessions will explore what is being done at the local level to capture the opportunity to capture the oppor-tunity afforded by the local market.

Yanis Varoufakis is currently one of the most recognisable and thought-provoking figures in European poli�cs.

As Greek Minister of Finance he led nego�a�ons with the country’s creditors during the government-debt crisis in 2015. Today, he is an outspoken proponent of reform within the European Union and a leading voice in the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25), launched in February 2016.

Yanis will provide the opening Keynote of the ASPIRE Industry Summit, drawing on his experience

at the heart of the debt crisis and taking into account recent global events such as Brexit, the elec�on of Donald Trump and the rise of protec�onism.

An economist by profession, Yanis is the author of several books on the European debt crisis, the financial imbalance in the world and game theory. These include And The Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe, Austerity and the Threat to Global Stability and The Globalising Wall, which reflects on dividing lines around the world.
