Με εκπροσώπους από 24 χώρες, 500 ομιλητές από όλον τον κόσμο, 95 θεματικές ενότητες, 2.500 συνέδρους και περισσότερους από 150 διαπιστευμένους δημοσιογράφους από την Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό, ξεκίνησε χθες τις εργασίες του το 4ο Οικονομικό Φόρουμ των Δελφών, το οποίο θα διαρκέσει έως την Κυριακή 3 Μαρτίου.
Η διεθνής συνδιάσκεψη, η οποία εφέτος φέρει τον τίτλο «Inclusive Growth» (Ανάπτυξη Χωρίς Αποκλεισμούς), πραγματοποιείται στο Ευρωπαϊκό Πολιτιστικό Κέντρο των Δελφών και στο ξενοδοχείο ΑΜΑΛΙΑ.
Η πολιτειακή και πολιτική ηγεσία της χώρας θα παρευρεθεί στο φόρουμ, ενώ τα επόμενα 24ωρα ταξιδεύουν στους Δελφούς ανώτατοι κυβερνητικοί αξιωματούχοι, υπουργοί και αντιπροσωπείες από την Ευρώπη, την Αμερική, την Αφρική και την Ασία, επίτροποι της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, κεντρικοί τραπεζίτες και προσωπικότητες διεθνούς κύρους και επιρροής από την οικονομία, την ακαδημαϊκή κοινότητα και την Κοινωνία των Πολιτών. Παράλληλα, έχουν επιβεβαιώσει τη συμμετοχή τους οι επικεφαλής των μεγαλύτερων ελληνικών επιχειρηματικών ομίλων.
Η ημερήσια διάταξη της συνδιάσκεψης περιλαμβάνει θέματα αιχμής, μέσα από τέσσερις άξονες: εμβαθύνει στις διεθνείς και γεωπολιτικές τάσεις, ενδυναμώνει τις επιχειρηματικές και επενδυτικές σχέσεις στο διεθνές επιχειρηματικό περιβάλλον, φωτίζει την ευρωπαϊκή πραγματικότητα, εν όψει και των ευρωεκλογών, αλλά και διερευνά την προοπτική για τη χώρα μας.
Στο πλαίσιο των συζητήσεων εντάσσονται και επιμέρους θεματικές ενότητες, με εξειδικευμένες συζητήσεις. Μεγάλη έμφαση θα δοθεί στις μεταβολές και ανακατατάξεις που φέρνει η Δ΄ Βιομηχανική Επανάσταση, στις νέες τεχνολογικές τάσεις, στο μέλλον του λιανεμπορίου, στην τεχνολογία πληρωμών, στον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό των επιχειρήσεων και σε άλλα επίκαιρα θέματα.
Στη διαμόρφωση του προγράμματος του φόρουμ, που έχει πλέον εξελιχθεί σε πυλώνα επιρροής στην Ευρώπη και στα Βαλκάνια, έχουν συμβάλει διεθνείς οργανισμοί, όπως η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή, η Παγκόσμια Τράπεζα, η Ευρωπαϊκή Τράπεζα Επενδύσεων και η Ευρωπαϊκή Τράπεζα Ανασυγκρότησης και Ανάπτυξης. Επίσης, συμμετέχουν κορυφαίες δεξαμενές σκέψης, όπως το Ινστιτούτο Brookings, το Atlantic Council, το Ινστιτούτο Bruegel, η ΔιαNEOσις, το Ίδρυμα Λασκαρίδη κ.ά.
