Registration Link: Keynote: Emerging Markets Institute's Annual Report | eCornell

The global economy has experienced rapid shocks, shifts, and disruptions over the past few years. From the ongoing effects of the Russian war on Ukraine to the enduring stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic events have forced businesses and industries to adapt and evolve. The backbone of globalization, global value chains have sparked growth in production and manufacturing, but the recent pandemic has exposed many of their vulnerabilities, resulting in the need for innovation. As the growth of many emerging economies is based on the strength of their value chains, this webinar will present the Emerging Markets Institute’s 2022 Annual Report, “Reinventing Global Value Chains.”

Join us as experts from Cornell University outline the key findings of the report, including the performance of various economies’ value chains as well as the drivers for their growth. Our panelists will further highlight the transformation of value chains over the past two decades as well as how value chains have reacted to external pressures, like sustainability.

The quietest desert on the Mexican side of the border is about to be crossed by the biggest all-terrain car race in the world. In OFF THE ROAD, three die-hard fans seek to escape the monotony to find a place for themselves in this rip-roaring event.
