More than 150 alumni were welcomed back onto campus for this year’s event on the theme of Our Shared Future: the role of business leadership in delivering a more prosperous, sustainable and inclusive future.

Mary Robinson, Former President of Ireland, and a former UN Special Envoy on Climate Change, urged leaders to increase “by a factor of 10” the intensity of their efforts to avert a climate disaster, while IMD Professors explored how businesses in the future will have to respond to rising anti-democratic populism, surging cyber attacks and a reorganization of supply chains.
