A NEW ECONOMY TO THE WORLD AND HUMANITY

JOIN US ONLINE
ON JUNE 25, 2021        

The fault lines of today’s world – the critical degradation of the environment, the depletion of our natural resources, social inequalities, the lack of cooperation, the inadequacy of justice, the failures of leadership and the deficit of global governance – arise, exposed as never before.

The crises, repeating themselves, summon us to a reinvention.
As a school of leaders, the AESE feels compelled to contribute to the search for new solutions.

To this end, we will dedicate the 15th AESE Alumni Association Assembly to “A New Economy for the World and Humanity”, approaching it from two perspectives: Macrotrends and Micro-concretions.

For the first, internationally recognized speakers will contribute, focusing on 4 domains: Ecology, Institutions, Human Work and Science.

For the Micro approach we will hear from protagonists of new businesses successfully implemented.

In addition to its strong formative component, the Assembly will be an excellent moment of reunion of our great community.

We will celebrate together the 40th anniversary of AESE, the oldest Business School created in Portugal.
