Key Issues
The debate will bring together Government and corporate leaders from across the world.
The participants will assess the new opportunities and challenges emanating from a rapidly changing international investment landscape, including the rise of firms from emerging economies.
From their different perspectives, the leaders will discuss what governments can do to improve business environments and what companies can do to accelerate the development process in the countries in which they invest.
The participants will also consider how foreign investment can spur local enterprise and reduce poverty.
Opened by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and moderated by CNBC's Simon Hobbs, the event will draw on the insights of leading decision-makers in politics and business to generate a rich, solutions-oriented debate.
During the final hour of the event, the leaders will interact with the high-level audience of corporate executives, senior policymakers and heads of investment promotion agencies.
