San Jose, Costa Rica. May 25. CINDE, the world’s top foreign investment promotion agency, will bring together business leaders, investors, and experts to discuss the challenge companies face to be able to innovate and successfully navigate times of crisis through more knowledge of the megatrends impacting the economy, basically in sectors such as
life sciences,
manufacturing,
technology, and
health and wellbeing. This is the slogan of the second annual 2023
Megaminds in Megatrends to take place next June 1-2 in the
Costa Rican Convention Center.
The international forum has become one of the most important gatherings of the year for foreign direct investment (FDI) and an excellent opportunity to network with decision-makers, multinational firms set up in Costa Rica, and representatives of strategic CINDE partners.
“We are proud to show the world the capacity we have in Costa Rica to develop topics of global importance. This year’s Megaminds will combine keynote sessions, tracks, and other tools in areas that impact different economic sectors: how multinational companies can increase the value of their operations by being more efficient and, of course, how these types of companies, many already set up in our country, can prepare for the challenges and changes in the global economy so that they can offer better solutions to the public,” said Pilar Madrigal, Director of CINDE Investment Advisory.
Attendees will obtain first-hand inputs on the latest megatrends from
18 international experts in a unique opportunity to network and broaden perspectives on topics such as web 3.0, cybersecurity, mental health, advanced manufacturing, circular economy, metaverse, and artificial intelligence.
Megaminds in Megatrends 2023 will have the participation of prestigious experts such as Olivia White, Henrik Von Scheel, George Zarkadakis, Alex Capri, Francois Monory and Jackie Sturm.
“We live in an age of exponential change where technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the Metaverse and Web3 are revolutionizing the digital economy and the way we live. I’m therefore very excited to participate in this year’s Megaminds in Megatrends conference in forward-thinking Costa Rica and have the opportunity, together with my brilliant co-panelists Amy Peck and Tony Lauro, to unpack the trends and outline practical steps for business leaders aspiring to success,” said panelist George Zarkadakis, a business leader, artificial intelligence engineer, and expert on data innovation.
