Event Details
The Business 20 (B20) is the official G20 dialogue forum with the global business community. Established in 2010, the B20 brings together business leaders from G20 member countries and beyond, providing a platform for companies and business organisations to articulate their perspectives on pressing global economic and trade issues, ensuring that the voice of the business community is heard at the highest levels of international economic governance.
South Africa assumes the Presidency of the G20 on 1 December from Brazil, and with it the Chair of the B20 for the next year, to be followed by the United States.
This is the first time a B20 will be hosted in South Africa, and on the continent, providing a unique opportunity to profile the country and its businesses, co-ordinate the development of business-related policy, and develop relationships with economic partners across the globe.
BUSA is the official host of B20 South Africa and, together with BLSA, is responsible for the programme of B20 South Africa. The webinar will explain the structure of the B20, share lessons from B20 Brasil, and discuss the ways in which local and multinational business can participate in this global showcase.
