Four years on and Europe’s Capital Markets are still in a state of prolonged crisis. And economic stagnation no longer sits in Europe alone. What effect will the dramatic slow-down of emerging economies have on the long-term survival of Europe’s capital Markets? Where will the next bubble form and burst? How will start ups and tomorrow’s entrepreneurs spark growth in the Capital Markets industry? Bellwether Europe in 2011 focused on the threats faced by investors and how to manage them; in 2012 conversations optimistically centred on how to identify opportunities in a zero-growth epoch.
In 2013… it will be about survival. 2013. Adapt or Die. Attend Bellwether Europe to better understand your fate.
