Bloomberg today announced the Global Business Forum, a gathering in New York of global business and government leaders to discuss plans for growth and opportunity around the world. The one-day event will occur in New York City on Wednesday, September 20th, 2017, in partnership with the Alibaba Group; Dangote Industries Limited; EXOR, the holding company controlled by the Agnelli family; and MiSK, the philanthropic foundation of Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.

The Global Business Forum will convene heads of state, government ministers, CEOs and NGOs in constructive conversations on global business, serving as a platform for business and government across large and emerging economies that are expected to work together to inspire and support economic prosperity. Attendees are expected to represent every region in the world and all major global economies.

"This is a critical moment for the world's economy. Recent events around the world have challenged the principles that have governed commerce for the past several decades. In transitional times like these, I believe business and government must work together to solve the issues affecting us all," said Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies, and 108th Mayor of New York City.
