So we (at EXOR) enthusiastically support the Global Business Forum that gathers leaders from many walks of life, from all around the world to identify smart, practical solutions to the great challenges of our time.

John Elkann

Chairman and CEO, EXOR

As leaders across global business, it’s critical that we come together to determine the future of the world’s economic order and create an environment that reflects the new realities of globalization.

Aliko Dangote

President and Chief Executive, Dangote Industries Limited

New business models need to be created to finance economic development that has a net positive impact on society. We believe that all actors – especially governments, institutions, corporates and NGOs – need to come together to co-create solutions, and build coalitions of investors, development agencies and local partners to finance them. These innovative models can channel much-needed investments towards sustainable projects to help close the SDG funding gap.

Jean-Laurent Bonnafé

Director and CEO, BNP Paribas

I see no inherent contradiction between profitable business and social development. In fact, there is huge potential for a virtuous synergy between the two. Working together to a plan, with governments also lending their support, there is so much we can do to impact the problems that our planet faces.

Anand G. Mahindra

Chairman, Mahindra Group
