The Emerging Markets Summit 2010

The Emerging Markets Summit
September 15th 2010 - September 16th 2010
  • Grand Connaught Rooms, London

"Enthusiasm, Callibration, Engagement, Momentum, were the key messages emerging from this year's Summit." Chairman, Daniel Franklin, Executive Editor, The Economist

Just as the West once underestimated the potential of emerging markets, it now fails to grasp the complexities of a fluid, multi-directional global business landscape. 

The Emerging Markets Summit 2010 provided an unrivalled opportunity for business leaders to gain authoritative analysis into the current climate for operating in high-growth markets, looking at nascent trade opportunities, evolving consumer behaviour and the competitive strategies of emerging multinationals.

OPENING KEYNOTE: The new world turned upside down

Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable MP
Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills


THE NEW DYNAMICS

The world is changing, in complex ways. Three leaders in their respective fields identify the most exciting developments taking place within the global economy, consumer behaviour and the competitive landscape, highlighting those trends which are likely to have the greatest impact on business over the next five years.

09.30   Understanding the drivers of future prosperity: The world in figures

Robin Bew, Editorial Director, Economist Intelligence Unit

10.00   Discussion

10.30

A NEW SOURCE OF IDEAS

With 977,000 patent applications filed in China alone during 2009, emerging markets have staked their claim as the new hotbed of disruptive, high-tech innovation. How is the culture of innovation in high-growth markets shaking up the entire corporate world? Will Western companies be able to compete against their nimble, new rivals?

SD Shibulal, Co-founder, Infosys Technologies

10.55NETWORKING BREAK
11.20

NEW PERSPECTIVES: inside the mind of the Chinese consumer

Too often, Western firms fail to grasp the needs and wants of consumers in China, meaning their products and services fall flat.  Two world-renowned authorities discuss how Chinese behaviour and culture should inform your value proposition, influencing how your products and services are designed. This session will reveal the art of locating opportunities.

Sir David Tang, Founder, China Clubs, Shanghai Tang
Jan Chipchase, Executive Creative Director of Global Insights, frog design

12.05

THE NEW SUPERPOWER: shining a spotlight on Brazil

Henrique de Campos Meirelles, President, Banco Central do Brasil

12.30

THE NEW COMPETITORS: The secrets of success

Leading companies from Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America are globalising at a rate of knots. These companies are finding it easier to expand than the older western firms. As they transform from domestic to international businesses, one leader discusses strategies for achieving sustainable growth and assessing the implications for Western competitors.

Naguib Sawiris, Executive Chairman, Orascom Telecom

STREAMED EXECUTIVE BRIEFING SESSIONS
A

NEW STRATEGIES: BUSINESS MODELS
Succeeding in Asia: A guide to winning business

Competitive exchange rates allied to strong projections for Asian consumer demand should spell opportunities for Western manufacturers and service providers to forge profitable new markets; currently, however, less than 9% of UK exports go to Asia, implying there is quite a lot of room for improvement. An expert panel will analyse key opportunities for manufacturers and service providers in high growth markets, examine case studies on how to succeed, and assess the pitfalls which lie in wait for the unwary.

Supported by: UK Trade & Investment

Moderator: Gerard Walsh, Regional Director, Asia, Economist Intelligence Unit
Richard Arnold, Commercial Director, Manchester United
Sir John Banham, Chairman, Johnson Matthey
Armin Bruck, Managing Director India, Siemens 

B

THE NEW MARKETS: EIU BRAZIL BRIEFING
Joining the new superpowers

An expert panel break down the key macro economic, social and political trends and theme that will influence the development of Brazil's economy over the next five years.  Topics to be explored will include:

  • How is Brazil positioning itself in the new global economy?
  • What is the outlook for commodity and manufacturing exports, and for domestic demand?
  • Which foreign players are currently investing, where, and with what results?
  • Which sectors represent untapped opportunities for traders/investors?
  • Making sense of cartelization, risk and political change 

Moderator: Fiona Mackie, Senior Editor/ Economist, Economist Intelligence Unit
Ilan Goldfajn, Chief Economist, Itaú Unibanco
Eduardo Loyo
, Partner and Chief Economist, Banco BTG Pactual
Sergio Quiroga, President Latin America & Caribbean, Ericsson 

C

NEW IDEAS: MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
Battling for assets: the new M&A dynamics

Geely's recent acquisition of Volvo from Ford sent a powerful signal, making clear that the dealmakers of tomorrow are as likely to be in Shanghai or Mumbai as in London or New York. As emerging market firms scour the planet for technology and brands, with both state-owned and private firms gaining expertise in deal-making, how do their respective cultural approaches to deal-making compare? We predict the likely shape of the global M&A landscape, assessing deal-flow, valuations, and the motivating factors driving activity.

Moderator: Abhik Sen, Managing Editor, Business Intelligence Services, Economist Intelligence Unit
Ian Lambert, Director of M&A, Smiths Group
Brett Olsher,
Head of Emerging Markets Coverage, Deutsche Bank
Sadeq Sayeed,

STREAMED EXECUTIVE BRIEFING SESSIONS

D

NEW STRATEGIES: THE TALENT QUESTION
Engaging new generations from new markets: The battle for hearts and minds

With high-calibre graduates from emerging economies entering the international workforce, the war for talent has gone global. What motivates graduates from Hyderabad, Shanghai, Sao Paolo or Moscow to join, and stay at, your company? An expert panel of global employers and independent commentators reveal Generation Y’s priorities and expectations.

Hosted by ACCA

THE NEW MARKETS: EIU INDIA BRIEFING
India uncovered

Those trying to assess India’s economic potential risk being overwhelmed by the speed and scale at which the country is changing (a middle class currently numbering 50 million people is expected to grow to 583 million by 2025). How can trade partners and investors make sense of these staggering movements, and focus on the attainable? We talk through the most promising new areas for investment, as well as the day-to-day reality of doing business for multi-nationals.

Moderator: Anjalika Bardalai, Senior Editor/ Economist, Economist Intelligence Unit

F

THE NEW MARKETS: EIU EASTERN EUROPEAN BRIEFING
Steppe right up

As the more established Central and Eastern European markets start to mature, corporates are looking further east for significant growth opportunities. Russia is returning to growth, there’s a positive buzz around business in Turkey, and the resource-rich frontier territories of Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia are also coming into play. Which are the most promising sectors for international businesses and investors? An expert panel will assess the risks and rewards.

Moderator: Richard Eames, Associate Director CEE, Economist Corporate Network
Onno Janssen, Chief Executive Officer, Central & Eastern Europe, Aon Risk Services
Kostas Katsoglou, President East Europe Growth Region, Dow Europe
Pavel Mertlík, Chief Economist, Raiffeisenbank 

G

THE NEW MARKETS: EIU CHINA BRIEFING
Where next for China?

China rebounded faster from the global downturn than any other big economy, thanks to massive monetary and fiscal easing, but how sustainable is its growth? An expert panel will examine the outlook for exports, imports, consumer spending, manufacturing, investment and industrial output, discuss emerging policy initiatives and assess the main operational risks and challenges associated with building market presence in China. 

Moderator: Gareth Leather, Senior Editor/ Economist, Economist Intelligence Unit
Jeremy Burks, President, Greater China, Dow Corning Corporation
Kerry Brown,
Senior Fellow, Asia Programme

Ian FitzSimons, General Counsel, Pernod Ricard  

H

NEW IDEAS: INNOVATION
The next gold rush

It is generally agreed that emerging markets are a rich breeding ground for innovation, both in terms of pioneering radical, even game-changing ideas and of re-engineering existing techniques and technologies to meet the needs of the new consumer class. A panel of experts will identify those ideas that are starting to build momentum and could fundamentally disrupt global markets, ranging from products that are servicing the unbanked to frugal innovation.

Moderator: Paul Lewis, Managing Editor, Executive Briefing, Economist Intelligence Unit

THE NEW RISKS: The world they see is not the world you see

10.20

THE NEW CONSUMER = A NEW KIND OF COMPETITION

Around the world, hundreds of millions of people are finding that for the first time they have the ability to buy a television, a car, a house and consumer products. Brand owners worldwide want to take advantage. However, as multinationals move into new markets, how will they have to create or recreate their brands to be recogniseable and meaningful in new contexts?

THE NEW BRICs – Who’s climbing the economic ladder?

The recent, significant, growth in South-South trade, such as the new, trilateral trade arrangement between India, the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), and a trading block in Latin America consisting of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (Mercosur), is yet another sign of the shift in global power to emerging markets. A panel of experts will discuss new trends in the behaviour of emerging markets, and will also examine the prospects for business in a selection of countries identified by EIU research as the next key high-growth markets.
