Dialogue of Continents, 2020
Online
November 4-6, 2020

Overview
Covid19 has hit the global economy severely, creating great pressure for economies and institutions and putting the world at a crossroads. The global economy had been fragile long before, due to a geopolitical shift, the digital transformation, global warming and societal fragmentation, among other causes. Collective action is required to help create tighter policy coordination for a safe and reliable environment for business continuity and innovation. A closer dialogue between government officials, policy makers, scientist, technological innovators, and business leaders at the highest level is extremely important in this regard.
Through this third edition of the Dialogue of Continents Forum we continue to involve stakeholders worldwide in thinking about the way forward toward progress and peace- this year with a focus on embracing an Age of Imagination .
