Conference debates are also expected to focus on issues such as financial market growth, new technology, and challenges facing banking and financial institutions as the world emerges from the coronavirus crisis.

Expected guests include Israeli-born political economist Dan Breznitz, a professor at the University of Toronto and author of Innovation in Real Places: Strategies for Prosperity in an Unforgiving World, a critically acclaimed book that seeks to debunk myths about innovation, growth and prosperity.
