A New Development Agenda: Trade, Investment, and Procurement
The Scholl Chair in International Business and the Project on Prosperity and Development have examined the myriad ways that the private sector can engage emerging markets. Demand for private capital will certainly exceed supply, leading to the conclusion that economies which enhance investor return and minimize risk will be most successful in attracting private investment. Join us for the launch of A New Development Agenda: Trade, Investment, Procurement as we bring together stakeholders from the public and private sectors, academia, and the non-profit to discuss these important and timely issues.
