Global Business Outlook

  • 3M Innovation Center 2350 Minnehaha Avenue East Maplewood, MN, 55119 United States (map)

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! This event is being held in person and is open to everyone. 

New in 2023: Are you and your business ready for 2024? With so many uncertainties and disruptions in the post-pandemic global economy, which trends are pivotal for your success? Which emerging trends and risks demand your attention? Global Minnesota’s new Global Business Outlook event will address these and other questions on November 29. Building on the success of our annual Foreign Policy Update held every January, this event is business-focused: our inaugural event will explore those global business megatrends that can pose risks—or lead to growth opportunities for Minnesota businesses.

Leading the discussion on global megatrends is Dr John Pournoor, CEO of Government Analytica. John’s keynote will focus on his annual 2024 Top 12 Global Megatrends.

The keynote is followed by an elite panel of Global Minnesota Corporate Members. Representatives from leading multinationals will share their insights and recommendations on how companies can pivot from risk to opportunity.

Ever wonder how 3M has managed to innovate solutions in virtually every sector of our economy? The first 100 registrants are eligible for a guided tour of 3M’s spectacular Innovation Center to see the incredible range of 3M breakthroughs in material science and product innovation. Small group tours will be scheduled in batches from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. prior to the main event. When registering, you may indicate your interest in joining this special tour.

After the event, enjoy exceptional networking with Global Minnesota corporate members and members of Minnesota’s international business community. Cost of registration includes light appetizers and a beverage.
