The Emerging Markets Institute Conference 2022 | Cornell Emerging Markets Institute | 4 November 2022 | Cornell Tech, 2 W Loop Rd, New York, NY 10044, USA

It is the leading annual forum in the US that brings together heads of multilateral institutions and preeminent business leaders to discuss economic development in the world’s emerging markets.

The conference features keynote speakers, thought-provoking panel discussions, networking sessions, and two sponsored competitions: the Cornell EMI Mark Mobius Pitch Competition and the Cornell EMI Corning Case Competition. The Conference also marks the launch of the Institute’s Annual Report, a collection of research and articles from the past year developed by researchers within the University and the Emerging Multinationals Research Network in collaboration with OECD Development Center, UNCTAD, IFC, and Inter-American Development Bank. The theme of the 2022 Conference, “Reinventing Value Chains,” asks speakers to envision the connections that are growing and evolving between industries, governments, and environments as we emerge into a post-pandemic business world and global uncertainty.
