Sustainable development through social programmes in Danish Industry: Implications and opportunities for the Pacific Alliance
Sustainable development through social programmes in Danish Industry: Implications and opportunities for the Pacific Alliance
Background: In 2011, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru established the Pacific Alliance to 1) build an alliance for closer integration based on participation and consensus; 2) move progressively towards the free movement of goods, services, resources and people; 3) foster development and competitiveness of the economies of its members; 4) achieve greater civil society well-being; and 5) become a platform of political articulation, economic and commercial integration and projection to the world.
The Pacific Alliance initiatives also explore areas beyond free trade, such as scientific and education cooperation, and business development in innovative technological solutions. In this context, there is huge untapped potential for further interaction among the 28 OECD Member Countries who are also observers or associate members of the Pacific Alliance (e.g., Denmark).
The seminar: Sustainable development through social programmes in Danish Industry: Implications and opportunities for the Pacific Alliance at CBS is part of a series of seminars organised by the European Institute of International Affairs (IEEI) and OECD in 2017 (Paris in June and Stockholm in December) aimed at creating a platform to facilitate discussion amongst Pacific Alliance member countries, observers and associated states. The CBS seminar will be followed by a closing workshop at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in Germany (June 2018) to further discuss opportunities and challenges in relation to entrepreneurship, digital skills and innovation between Europe and the Pacific Alliance region.
Objectives: 1) To raise awareness of Danish firms’ social programmes in emerging markets to foster sustainable development, and thereby to further strengthen mutual cooperation in particular with the Pacific Alliance region.2) To inspire CBS students in innovative-entrepreneurship social programmes and perspectives for business opportunities in emerging markets, particularly within the Pacific Alliance.
