Risks and Opportunities at the Intersection of Capital Markets and Technology
Please join the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies 16th Annual Risk Summit as we discuss how recent trends in global capital flows are notably shifting outside of what we regard as “traditional” finance.
The Cambridge Risk Summit brings together leaders from different sectors to discuss and debate current and future capital flows, the role of technology in capital flows, and how these combine to impact global business. How will the movement of money across borders for investment, trade, and business production link to systemic threats and opportunities in the near term and beyond? The rise of private markets presents unique challenges to existing systems of governance and accountability between corporations, governments, nations and individual investors.
We invite participation from our community of senior executives, specialists, business managers, academics, policy-makers, practitioners and advisors to explore these topics together. The conference and networking reception will be held at Cambridge Judge Business School.
Centre is also pleased to include our Cambridge Risk Research Symposium on the following day, Thursday 26 June, to highlight the research pillars of the Cambridge Systemic Risks Hub. Sessions will include topics related to megatrends, geopolitics, and climate transition effects.
