The programme nurtures forward-thinking business executives seeking to shape a future that is not only economically resilient, but socially and ecologically sustainable. This yearâs group consists of 97 participants from various sectors and branches in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.
The core of the program takes place online.
