The Horasis Global Meeting was held from April 6-9, 2019 in Cascais, Portugal. It gathered over 800 world leaders from over 70 countries around the theme “Catalyzing the Benefits of Globalization”. The Bridge Tank was represented by its chairman Joël Ruet and its board member Pranjal Sharma, advisor at the Davos World Economic Forum and contributing editor to Business Standard and Business World.

In a panel titled “The Changing Face of Communism,” Joël Ruet argued that China was historically decentralised, with a government controlling the capital, whereas in the West, capital controls the government. He added that overpopulation remained a growing concern in China and that funds from outside the country needed to be considered for realistic projects.

Pranjal Sharma intervened in a plenary session titled “Navigating a World in Transition” and exchanged with the other speakers about their personal experiences as leaders and how they inspire people.
