The International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) 3rd Annual Research Conference, in collaboration with INSEAD, brought together academics, leading firms, and policymakers to discuss how greener, more efficient technological innovation can support economic development.
The discussions addressed the challenges and opportunities for developing economies to capture market share for green products, the market segments that could provide the greatest growth opportunities, and the financial and policy barriers to achieve this growth. Discussions examined the potential for developing economies to leapfrog legacy systems and adopt innovative solutions that promote green growth faster.
