Sixth Edition – Vienna
December 4-5, 2023
« De-risking the Transition to a New Globalisation. »
OVERVIEW
The 6th edition of Dialogue of Continents took place at a time of great uncertainty, economic disruptions and environmental emergencies. The event was set against a backdrop of ongoing geopolitical crises responsbile for fragmenting and dramatically changing the world.
Whereas in past decades businesses and governments around the world had operated under the assumption that economic and financial globalisation would continue apace, with the international order coming under strain, the 6th edition of Dialogue of Continents was held in a context of increasing deglobalisation.
This is why we chose as the theme for Dialogue of Continents 2023:
De-risking the Transition to a New Globalisation.
