The theme of its 14th edition, “Business, chambers, government: Partners for prosperity”, will explore how fostering collaboration among businesses, chambers of commerce, and governments can drive economic growth and prosperity.

Uniting more than 1,000+ business, chamber and political leaders from 100+ countries, the Congress is an ideal platform to connect public and private sector voices.
