In partnership with the Government of the Canary Islands, the Global Economic Institute will hold its Annual Economic Summit from November 12-15, 2018 in the Canary Islands.
A number of issues within the Global Economic Institute’s four thematic areas of Trade, FDI, Innovation and Sustainable Development will be examined. In particular, the Summit will look closely at the triple helix of industry–academia-government interactions and their inter-jurisdictional spillover effects.
Held every year under the TFi4SD (Trade, FDI and Innovation for Sustainable Development) brand, our Annual Summit offers a unique platform to proffer solutions to pressing issues, hear from global experts, build your brand, grow your network, and connect one-on-one with decision-makers, thought leaders and potential partners from around the world.
Join us in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria!
