Globalization is not dead. It’s just getting harder to recognize.

Join us for an insightful masterclass on globalization. We’re entering a new phase of globalization, one where countries protect national assets, and competitiveness depends less on production costs and more on a nation’s ability to attract talent and capital.

In this new world order:

  • Which countries will come out on top?
  • What will it take for developing economies to succeed?
  • And what does competitiveness really mean now?

During this masterclass Professor Arturo Bris, Director of the IMD World Competitiveness Center, will be hosting an online masterclass to explore these questions.

We’ll use insights from the World Competitiveness Center to reframe how we think about globalization, and what executives like you need to understand about the shifting global landscape.

Here’s what you can expect from this masterclass:

  • How global context directly impacts your business decisions.
  • Why national competitiveness often gets misunderstood.
  • A fresh perspective on globalization.
  • Guidance on how our EMBA can align with your career goals.
  • Answers to your questions about the program and IMD’s approach to learning.

If you’re navigating international markets, or simply trying to make sense of where the world is going, we’d love to see you there.


Please be advised, this event will not be recorded. Take this unique occasion to immerse yourself in IMD’s enriching learning journey in real-time.
