THE WORLD STRATEGIC FORUM 2024 TO UNVEIL STRATEGIES FOR COMPANY GROWTH IN THE NEW ECONOMY

High-level executives and decision-makers will gather on December 10^th-11^th to discuss critical issues, including AI and supply chains.

MIAMI, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA) and the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom at Florida International University (FIU) are pleased to announce that the 13^th edition of the World Strategic Forum (WSF) will be held on December 10^th-11^th at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Miami. Through the theme "Thriving in the New Economy," the conference will focus on how companies can prosper in today's global landscape.

This year's program will address various topics, including energy, finance, infrastructure, legacy planning, investment, technology, international trade, geopolitics, sports, and business, with a particular emphasis on decarbonization and environmental resilience. New this year, the sessions will be broadcast live and accessible to a global audience via www.IEFA.tv. and https://freedom.fiu.edu/.

"In the past four years, two significant business trends have emerged. First, companies have had to adapt their supply chains in response to disruptive forces such as the pandemic and armed conflicts. Second, new technologies, including AI, are set to profoundly impact how enterprises operate in the coming years," said Nicholas Rémillard, CEO of the IEFA. "We are excited to advance these topics through engaging discussions at this year's World Strategic Forum."

"In addition to major business trends in recent years, we have seen a significant geopolitical realignment, as leaders around the world are increasingly prioritizing the defense of local constituents over pleasing global audiences –a result of the rising backlash against globalization across economic, political, social, and cultural lines," said Carlos Díaz-Rosillo, Founding Director of the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom. "This year's forum will explore these pivotal shifts and present a new way forward for leaders interested in thriving in the new economy."
