Future of Emerging Markets - the EBRD region Outsights has just delivered another successful event at the Annual Meeting of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan in the Russian Federation. Over 200 bankers, government officials, NGOs and academics, primarily from Russia and the EBRD region -from the Balkans and Central Asia to Mongolia - attended the session. The Outsights team: Richard O’Brien, Tim Bolderson, associate Michael Prest and researcher Julie Mosmuller presented EBRD Futures 2025, with a special focus on demographics, technology, the environment and China. Participants then voted technological competitiveness and environmental challenges as particularly critical to the region's future success. Governments were deemed least ready to deal with challenges ahead, with civil society and private sector more prepared. Overall, participants expressed optimism that the region would be successful in 2025, more likely achieving a virtuous cycle of progress than an alternative outlook of decline. The panel discussion – featuring the head of President Putin's experts' directorate, the director of a leading Russian Human Rights NGO and the Vice President from China of the Asian Development Bank – noted that governance and civil society feature heavily in the region’s development. Outsights works with organisers of meetings to design interactive and high profile events for large and small groups. Our Drivers of Change Presentation brings to life key uncertainties of the future and can be tailored for specific audiences and timeframes.
