Sustainable Development Goal 4 – quality education for all – requires most of all public investment, but there is a role for private sector, including international, investment and potentially for public-private partnerships. Key targets of SDG 4 that could partly be achieved through international investment include those related to advanced education and specialized schools such as research and training centers as well as executive and industry-specific training. Internationally financed projects and foreign direct investment could complement national education development programmes.
The IPA Executive Luncheon will feature a presentation by a prominent figure in the investment promotion community who will reflect on strategies and policies for the promotion of investment aimed at supporting the development of a competitive education system.
