Programme

The 2010 edition spotlights how far the engines of economic growth and business and regional development will reach over the next decade. The breakdown of paradigms all around us makes this topic eminently, poignantly relevant.
This year’s meeting fits in well with all the issues explored in past editions, namely: engines of growth, innovation, employment, economic policies and growth, the energy challenge, and economic risk.  We will be able to observe and discuss changes, challenges and opportunities evinced by the megatrends and futuribles which characterise our society and impact our economy.
