Trade
Recent geopolitical developments have affected transaction costs for exporters, especially for sea-transported goods, leading to higher shipping costs and subdued growth in global trade of goods and services. There is a need for businesses to identify strategies to insulate themselves from such economic and geopolitical shocks by establishing resilient Global Value Chains (GVCs) and also facilitating a smooth transition to Trade 4.0.

This track highlights the direction of India’s FTA strategy and ideas on whether trade will depend on a multilateral or a regional world order. The summit will also focus on trade finance strategies and the way forward for intangible and services trade.

Future of Industrialisation
While industry 4.0 is well established, the emergence of industry 5.0 - a new phase of industrialization where humans work alongside advanced technologies and smart machines, is well on its way, increasingly defining the future of industrialisation.

Industry 5.0 has an increasing focus on innovation and sustainable practises with key trends such as automation, robotics, virtualization, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and IoT, among others, reshaping how industries operate, while enhancing their business efficiency and precision. The current evolution will also require significant transformation of global labour markets, with a focus on upskilling and reskilling of workers to meet the demands of increasingly automated markets.

This track will focus on some of these key emerging themes and will also focus on how technology partnerships can benefit businesses and economies in this context.

Sustainability and Climate Action
The world is increasingly becoming open to the idea of carbon neutral strategies with the introduction of European Commission’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). World leaders will further reinforce commitments to sustainability in the upcoming COP29 Conference to gradually bridge the gap between vision and reality.

The role of industry remains pivotal for adopting innovative carbon-neutral technologies while also embracing the concept of circular economy with focus on sustainability and generating green jobs. This track will include sessions on the role of climate finance to fund climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies among the participating countries.

Technology and Innovation
The combination of various technological elements is crucial for the design and implementation of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), which can play a catalytic role in enabling digital transformation and improving public service delivery at scale. India’s leadership in developing DPI has been recognized worldwide, positioning it as a model for adoption in countries seeking to enhance financial and digital inclusion.

Greater investments in R&D are critical for greater technological innovations which in turn can bolster productivity, support equitable growth, and provide a competitive edge to businesses.

Growth
While the global economic outlook remains positive in the near term, continued economic uncertainty poses challenges and requires cautious policy actions from global policymakers and experts. In the aftermath of the pandemic and other global events, rising inflation and high debt levels have become key constraints for global growth. The role of effective monetary policy decisions in managing economic fluctuations and achieving price stability has assumed greater relevance than ever before.

With nations navigating many challenges in the current global economic landscape, the need for coordinated policy action and stronger international cooperation cannot be overstated. A robust global financial architecture with effective fiscal and financial policies is an imperative for building resilience towards economic shocks.

Given this backdrop, this track will focus on strategies and role of international partnerships in promoting economic growth.

Geoeconomic Framework
After several decades of enhanced global economic integration, the world is faced with fresh risks of geoeconomic fragmentation with the recent escalation of geopolitical tensions. Security concerns and pursuit of advanced technologies for securing greater competitiveness have created new economic divides between countries. With resurfacing of supply chain disruptions, vulnerabilities of supply chains have exacerbated, requiring businesses to reassess their strategies and look for ways to build greater supply chains resilience.


The sessions under this track would look at the rise of a new multipolar world with the rise of new growth centers and the structural changes in growth dynamics. Global partnerships and closer international cooperation will be critical imperatives.

Inclusion
Inclusivity encompasses various dimensions and is pivotal for ensuring all-round economic development and provision of equal opportunities to all. Economic evidence points towards greater economic benefits through closing the gender gap and promoting gender equality and diversity in the workplace, including in leadership roles. Greater investments in education and creation of meaningful employment and inclusive entrepreneruship are also essential prerequisites for achieving inclusivity.

This track would explore the critical responsibility of businesses and enterprises in creating inclusive and equitable growth processes.
