Almost half of the world’s population goes to the polls in 2024 with global ramifications. The year ahead will be a major test of democratic rule as an estimated 4 billion people in more than 50 nations are set to vote in elections. As top analysts have reported, the outcomes will likely shape global politics for many years to come.  

As we bear witness to the escalation of geopolitical conflicts, challenges for the environment and the global economy, opportunities for a more equitable world emerge and are mainly driven by technological disruption.  Europe seems more resilient than expected, however June’s European Parliament election shall give a new mandate on what priorities need to be set.

Against this setting, Economist Impact and its official representative, Hazlis & Rivas, are proud to announce the organisation of the 28th Annual Economist Government Roundtable entitled “Spiralling through the conflicts in search of opportunities | Geopolitics • Environment • Technology”.

This year’s event is scheduled to take place in Athens (July 2nd-4th 2024, Grand Resort Lagonissi & Glyfada Golf Club of Athens), whereby high-ranking government and state officials and prominent personalities from politics, business, finance, international institutions and academia will join us once again for a meaningful and constructive dialogue to navigate the present and prepare for the future.
