Panel I: Strengthening the global value chain: visions and strategies

Back to Bratislava Programme

Staying relevant and competitive in the new global economic paradigm
The composition of the panel will allow participants to learn about the new forms of international trade at a time when global competition is intensifying. As a response, multinationals have developed global production networks, allowing them to increase efficiency in their processes within each country they operate from. While doing that, global buyers and producers have become active partners in the path to industrial development.

Discussion

 * How to effectively develop the GVC framework?
 * What are the long term benefits that GVCs offer?
 * What role do FDI promotion agencies and governments play?
 * How can a small or medium enterprise tap into existing GVCs?

This panel will explore strategies to develop an industry-centric view of economic globalization that highlights the linkages between economic actors across geographic space. Special focus will be put on the industrial and food & beverage value chains.
