The High-Growth Markets Summit
September 20th 2012 - September 21st 2012

With developing countries presenting a landscape of growth, low public debt and a young, dynamic population, all trends are indicating a redistribution in the balance of power from West to East and North to South.

Together they will examine the business opportunities, innovative strategies and challenges of operating within the world's high-growth markets.
