The new world disorder I Discussion with Alexander Stubb
Dear INSEAD Alumnus/Alumna,
We hope you have enjoyed your holidays and approach this Autumn recharged and full of energy!
We would like to kick-off this season of INSEAD Alumni events by a very special occasion. Alexander Stubb, a former Prime Minister, Finance Minister, Foreign Minister, Trade and Europe Minister of Finland (2008-2016), will join us to speak about his vision of Europe’s role in a world that has been losing balance between multilateralism and protectionism, climate change and new technologies, but has ended up swung adrift by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A. The event will open with coffee and light snacks and a networking opportunity.
