The programme of the 2010 Grand Economic Conference moved from the global economy to the choices facing businesses in Estonia. This is a newly written reading guide to those themes, not a transcript or a new event schedule.
Recovery, public debt and capital
The first part of the programme addressed the post-crisis world economy and emerging markets. Read Andres Sutt’s and Mary Stokes’s historical profiles alongside the discussion of public finances involving Jürgen Ligi and Andrew Ward.
What brings investment to Estonia?
The investment theme focused on the business environment. Read it through concrete questions about customers, people and production rather than treating the country as a single investment product.
Different businesses, different constraints
The entrepreneur panel used the Pecha Kucha format. Software, finance, industry and the legal environment offered different lenses on competitiveness; the profiles give the context for those contributions.
Estonia’s future challenges
Andrus Ansip’s contribution placed growth and value creation in the context of public policy. The historical profile separates the event’s questions from present-day claims.
