About this session
Global value chains are being reshaped by geopolitical tensions, technological change, climate imperatives, and evolving patterns of investment. At a time when Governments and businesses are seeking greater resilience without sacrificing openness, investment has become the key driver of a more diversified, sustainable and inclusive global economy. Bringing together public and private sector leaders, this plenary will explore how investment policies, international cooperation and business partnerships can strengthen global value chains, unlock new growth opportunities and ensure that developing countries remain integral participants in the economy of the future.
