The four-day event will feature a diverse lineup of speakers from academia, economics, and business, offering thought-provoking perspectives and potential solutions to these complex global dilemmas. The festival promises to be a vibrant hub of intellectual exchange, fostering insightful discussions and innovative ideas.
