Global Business Outlook

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. 

New in 2023: Are you and your business ready for 2024? With so many uncertainties and disruptions in the post-pandemic global economy, which trends are pivotal for your success? Which emerging trends and risks demand your attention? Global Minnesota’s new Global Business Outlook event will address these and other questions on November 29. Building on the success of our annual Foreign Policy Update held every January, this event is business-focused: our inaugural event will explore those global business megatrends that can pose risks—or lead to growth opportunities for Minnesota businesses.

Leading the discussion on global megatrends is Dr John Pournoor, CEO of Government Analytica. John’s keynote will focus on his annual 2024 Top 12 Global Megatrends.

The keynote is followed by an elite panel of Global Minnesota Corporate Members. Representatives from leading multinationals will share their insights and recommendations on how companies can pivot from risk to opportunity.
