The Next 3 Billion Summit, set for September 24, 2024, in New York, promises to be a landmark event in shaping the future of global economies. Organized by Semafor, the summit will spotlight the rise of three billion new consumers and workers expected to emerge from developing nations by 2030.
Key discussions will focus on integrating these populations into the global economy through digital transformation, infrastructure development, and inclusive policies. With notable figures such as Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio, billionaire entrepreneur Aliko Dangote, and Dr. Bosun Tijani set to speak, the event will offer insights into economic empowerment, job creation, and technological advancements.
The summit seeks to explore how governments, businesses, and innovators can collaborate to unlock the untapped potential of emerging markets. Central to this vision is the role of technology in creating new opportunities for the growing populations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, while also addressing challenges like climate change, inequality, and the digital divide.
This gathering of global thought leaders aims to build strategies for economic inclusion, focusing on how the next three billion individuals can be empowered to contribute to and benefit from the global economy. The event is expected to offer groundbreaking perspectives on how innovations in sectors like finance, agriculture, and education can drive sustainable development.
By fostering collaboration among governments, corporations, and civil society, the Next 3 Billion Summit could pave the way for a more inclusive and digitally connected world.
