The last decade has been transformational for emerging markets; their economies have grown and poverty levels have gone down. On the business side, companies from emerging markets have become major global players. On the innovation front, emerging markets have increased patent applications and investments in research and development. EMI’s annual conference in November 2020 will celebrate the institute’s 10th anniversary and focus on the achievements of emerging markets over the last ten years.
EMI was created at Johnson in 2010 in the aftermath of the Global Financial crisis. A decade later in 2020, emerging markets are faced with yet another global crisis and this is an opportune moment for the EMI Annual Conference to explore how emerging markets will not just cope with the Covid-19 crisis but also, hopefully, emerge stronger to shape the global future.
