Organized as part of the 7th Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, our Business Symposium will investigate the overall theme of the Global Forum - Living Together In Inclusive Societies: A Challenge and A Goal – with a focus on private sector contributions. The event will enable business leaders to share innovative examples on how to take action and accelerate progress particularly in the areas of interfaith understanding, diversity, inclusion and the global refugee crisis.

The Global Forum will promote dialogue and highlight concrete action-oriented steps that enhance the three UN pillars of peace & security, human rights and development. The theme will focus on diversity and social cohesion as means a to combating radicalization.
