Mike Bloomberg Hosts Third Annual Bloomberg Global Business Forum
------------------------------------------------------------
As the 2019 Bloomberg Global Business Forum came to a close on Wednesday, more than 50 heads of state and delegation from six continents and over 200 CEOs came together to discuss solutions to the rising threats of economic and environmental instability. Now in its third year, the Bloomberg Global Business Forum continues to bring together top political, economic, and business leaders to discuss the importance of cooperation, diplomacy, and shared responsibility for these challenges.
In Mike’s Words: "We won’t agree on every subject, but in a world that’s increasingly polarized, it’s critical that leaders in the public and private sectors talk to one another and listen even when we disagree. That’s the only way we’re going to be able to solve problems, increase prosperity, and spread the benefits of growth more broadly.”
