Welcome

The purpose of the “Globalization Council” is to allow for the reflection and shared understanding by influential leaders of multinational companies on how to promote and engage their companies, other companies, governments, NGOs, and society at large in the endeavor of a pluralistic Globalization. Portugal is historically and circumstantially the ideal context for such Council.

During the first meeting of the Council, held on the 10th of November of 2006, the members engaged in the discussion around three agenda items: metanational advantage and the globally integrated company; gateways and barriers to globalization, and expanding the benefits of connectivity. During the meeting there was also a lively exchange of experiences and ideas that shaped the formulation of this year’s agenda.
