1 Welcome

I warmly welcome you to the 2018 Horasis Global Meeting and sincerely hope that you will enjoy the discussions. My thanks go to the City of Cascais and the Portuguese Government for co-hosting the event.

The Horasis Global Meeting aims to be the world’s foremost annual gathering of business leaders who interact with heads of governments and key ministers as well as Nobel laureates and other thought leaders. The meeting’s purpose is to advance solutions to the most critical challenges facing corporations today. Participants share a common interest in mapping our global economies.

Under the theme ‘Inspiring our Future’, participants will share insights on the current state of the world which seems to become more fragile and fractious. It is time, now, to reset our trust in our institutions. We need both the vigour of youthful action and the wisdom of reflective diplomacy

The Horasis Global Meeting shall devise novel ideas to sustain and nurture our development in the future.

I wish you a thought-provoking and exceptional meeting.

Dr. Frank-Jürgen Richter Chairman Horasis: The Global Visions Community Switzerland

2 Changing the future

The time we are living is strange. Change is fast. Seismic. We do not know where we are going. We do not even know who we are going with from one minute to the next. The constancy of international politics has been shaken. Decade old alliances are breaking and the international order is increasingly disordered. In many parts of the globe tension is high and the rhetoric is dangerously belligerent. In other places, such as Syria, Venezuela or Myanmar, human suffering feeds an exodus that appears to have no end.

From a domestic viewpoint, illiberalism is growing within western societies. Populism has left the streets and moved directly towards some European chancelleries. Democracy appears to be losing its appeal and a growing number of people seem to have become seduced by behaviours originating in other latitudes.

At the same time, the globalisation, innovation and technological progress which feed the Forth Industrial Revolution promise, once more, to change the way we work, do business and live in society.

It is a paradoxical time. Never have we been so close together as far as the matters of men are concerned, however, we have never been so far away from one another. Never before have we been so interdependent economically, socially and environmentally speaking. Nevertheless, we have not lost a taste for belligerence, for isolation and for walls – be they real or imaginary.

We need to set on pause the present which has forgotten the past. We des - pe rately need to change the course of the future. To change it – but not to close our eyes or be complacent with stamping upon human rights. To change it so that freedom will not be the price to pay for a few decimals of growth of the GDP.To change it so that our citizens may be entrepreneurs, our com - panies may grow, and our countries may thrive. To change the future so that it inspires us. This is Frank Richter’s and the Horasis’ proposal, one which in Cascais we claim as our own. Cascais, being historically a meeting point of diverse peoples and cultures, is the right place to inspire a new time of humanism and responsi bi li ty; of development and sustainability; of concord amongst nations and peace amongst men.

All of you, please feel very welcome to Cascais, it is the place where we have the ambition to change the future.

Capital Markets (Room B) Capital markets are complex, mediated by computers, fast moving and global. The Basel III Accords followed G20 member’s inspirational vision, yet US Regulators now wish to dismantle the Dodd-Frank Act and the Volker Rule – how will capital markets respond?

Stock Markets (Room C1) Change has marked the last few years in stocks, pervaded by unprecedented upheavals and lowering yields. Where are stock markets headed, and what does that mean for you?

8 Labour Markets (Room C2) Robots can offer strong support physically and potentially mentally to our world of work and they do not ask for wages.

from 07.00 Registration (Estoril Congress Centre)

07.30 - 09.15 Breakfast Updates We reflect upon global changes that may have impinged on many of us: considering how national political surges have altered government round the globe and how the changed government attitudes might have altered the global agenda.

Europe at the Tipping Point (Room B) Europe faces critical times. Despite all populist challenges the economies of the EU are growing and Brexit might be absorbed by continental Europe. How can Europe build on its erstwhile unity? Where will Europe and the Euro be in ten years from now? • Kristian Jensen, Minister of Finance, Denmark With: • Björn Berge, Director General, Council of Europe, France Chaired by • Raphael Minder, Correspondent, New York Times, Spain

Responding to the Rise of Populism (Room C1) In several elections the forecasting pundits have been wrong and an outsider party has gained many votes.

Inspiring our Future (Auditorium) It is time, now, to reset our trust in our institutions.

FinTech: A World full of Opportunities (Room B) Once banking was a leisurely affair: now we have mathematical algorithms and high-speed trading and even digital money: bitcoin.

Venture Capitalists – Delivering the Yields (Room C1) Entrepreneurs and venture capital funds partners often promote symbiotic growth, each feeding on the other’s success.

Branding as a Social Good (Room D1) Marketing presently poses a brand as supportive of human rights or of sustainability.
