Building Bridges to Developing Economies: Reports From Field Practice

Building Bridges to Developing Economies: Reports From Field Practice

By 2030, the middle class of the developing world will represent about one-third of the global economy. Today, developed nations fiscally depend on the continued, accelerated expansion of these markets, which have already become the aggregate demand driver of the global economy. To ensure international stability, we must jumpstart inclusive growth that establishes food, health, energy, and water security along with the means to finance them. Innovators will report on new finance facility and development models that have evolved from fieldwork in California, Israel, Africa, India, and Latin America.
