Anatomy of investment agreements of the european uniondelabuw
At the end of 2013, the European Union and China announced the start of negotiations on a bilateral investment agreement. This will be the first agreement signed by the European Union as a partner, and not by its Member States. However, almost all Member States of the European Union have already signed, this type of agreement with China. This raises the question of the added value of new contracts entered into by the European Union. Is the new agreement is able to attract new investors?
The aim of this study is to demonstrate how agreements concluded by the EU countries have influenced the volume of stock of foreign direct investment. This paper proposes an analysis of BIT and FTA&EIA agreements and then conducted an empirical study based on FDI stocks of the European Union countries.

EU External Investment Plan EaP Business Forum-f.capurso 27slidesRostyslav LUKACH
The External Investment Plan is a new initiative to boost investment in partner countries and address issues like migration. It takes an integrated three pillar approach focusing on innovative financing, technical assistance, and improving the investment climate. A key aspect is the European Fund for Sustainable Development, which provides an EU guarantee to leverage more private investment in priority areas like SMEs and clean energy. The plan aims to help close the major estimated investment gaps needed to achieve development goals through crowding in private resources and promoting a business friendly environment. Private actors are encouraged to engage through upcoming one-stop shops and structured policy dialogues to help remove constraints on investment.

Cuando se trata de hacer accesible un producto a comunidades de bajos recursos, se han de combinar muchas áreas de conocimiento para superar con éxito las distintas fases y condiciones; desde la adaptación de la idea original de un producto, la necesidad de crear un modelo de aprovisionamiento y de generar una demanda, hasta la necesidad de conocer el contexto local y sus costumbres, políticas locales que le puedan afectar, etc.
Surge de ahí la importancia de los partenariados y alianzas para el desarrollo a lo largo de todos los procesos involucrados en el diseño y desarrollo de mercados de tecnologías y servicios adaptados a la Base de la Pirámide.
¿Qué actores participan en el desarrollo de mercados de tecnologías y servicios para la Base de la Pirámide? ¿Cómo se generan alianzas entre estos actores? A nivel internacional, parece ya superado el debate de si el sector privado es o no es un actor necesario para la consecución de objetivos de lucha contra la pobreza, y las discusiones comienzan ya a centrarse en como maximizar las alianzas estratégicas como herramienta de innovación social. En esta presentación, analizaremos estos elementos de la mano de la Agencia de Cooperación Alemana (GIZ), que cuenta con una extensa experiencia en este ámbito.

This document discusses development banks and development finance institutions, and their role in scaling up green investment in developing countries. It provides the following key points:
1) A 2017 OECD report found that multilateral development banks significantly support sustainable infrastructure, but levels vary by bank and sector. Bilateral development finance institutions need to move beyond renewable energy projects.
2) The OECD is conducting work to improve understanding of how development banks and finance institutions can shift financing to better align with climate goals, scale up private finance mobilization, and support emerging economies.
3) Priorities for 2018 include promoting environmental safeguards and mobilizing commercial capital for sustainable infrastructure through national development banks. Potential 2019-2020 focus areas include surveys

The document discusses challenges and opportunities for institutional investors to invest in climate projects in emerging economies. It identifies actions governments and organizations can take to increase private investment in climate projects, including establishing stable policies, building project pipelines, developing risk mitigation tools, and strengthening coordination among public and private finance institutions. The document also provides specific country and fund examples of how to structure public-private partnerships to "crowd in" private investment for climate and development projects.
The document provides an overview of the key players in Canada's capital markets and the investment process. It identifies institutional investors like pension funds and mutual funds as the largest pool of capital, which gets invested through asset managers. The main barriers to integrating sustainability into capital markets are: 1) environmental and social impacts are often not reflected in prices due to market failures; 2) the short-term focus of most investors; 3) lack of consistent and comparable sustainability data; and 4) limited understanding of sustainability risks. The document also discusses some opportunities to help mobilize more capital towards sustainable economic activities.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
