The Financial Times and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, will gather senior investors, innovators, social entrepreneurs and other thought leaders for a significant conference ahead of the FT/IFC Transformational Business Awards dinner in London.
Coupled with ever more urgent pressure to address climate change, governments and private sector leaders are grappling with how to tackle rapidly evolving global tensions, inflation, trade shifts and supply chain disruption. The 2022 FT/IFC Transformational Business Conference will focus on how these issues are impacting developing economies, with a particular focus on health and food security, and the funding of climate solutions.
