The transformation of the Astana Economic Forum, Eurasia’s leading conference on economic matters, into the The Global Challenges Summit well demonstrates Kazakhstan's new status in the international discourse on the opportunities and risks presented by planetary development. Astana’s successful organization of the "Energy of the Future" World EXPO 2017 served as the backdrop against which Kazakhstan announced its large-scale “Third Modernization”, geared towards pushing the country into the top 30 of the world's strongest economies by means of breakthroughs in innovative development, the implementation of bold institutional reforms, and extensive international integration.
A new unprecedented spiral of technological revolution at the beginning of the 21st century has created dozens of megatrends that are changing the world in ways that dramatically impact every country, business and individual human being on the planet. Economic growth and resource resilience, digitalization and urbanization, longevity and the financial revolution, global security and cultural change – these are the global trends that form the basis for the programme focus of the The Global Challenges Summit to bring together in mid-May in Astana hundreds of speakers drawn from the ranks of the most prominent politicians, businessmen and scholars, along with the thousands of experts taking part in the forum.
