The new normal- Restarting business after covid-19

July 12, 2021

The Economist’s 25th Roundtable with the Government of Greece, was held at Grand Resort Lagonissi, Athens on July 8-9,2021. The event was able to return to a nearly normal physical meeting, while also being livestreamed and having several speakers join by video link, pointing the “hybrid” future of such conferences.  A top-class collection of speakers took part, maintaining the tradition of this high-profile annual event.

Alba was once more the Academic Partner of this high profile annual event that covered a wide range of topics, from geopolitics and the economy to finance, energy, health and technology. Very broadly, the story of the event was that of two contrasting moods: optimism on Greece and wariness about global trends.

 

The conference marked a number of anniversaries—Greece’s 200th, The Economist Roundtable’s own 25th, the second anniversary the New Democracy government—making it a good time to take stock of the state of Greece, Europe and the world. Important global developments informed the discussions: the continuing struggle against covid-19, a new administration in America, the forthcoming elections in key European countries and the prospect of money from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF).
