5^th International Conference on Global Financial and  Business Environment ICGFBE 2024

Date: December 20-21, 2024.                                                    

Venue: NDIM, New Delhi, India

The conference ICGFBE 2024 aims to bring together esteemed professionals, renowned researchers, and industry leaders to explore the critical intersection of Finance and Business with Environment, Sustainability, Governance, Innovation, and Technology. Globally renowned academicians have agreed to be ‘Conference Speakers’ and many of these speakers have emerged as icons for many next-generation scholars. We believe that their valuable insights and expertise would greatly enrich the discussions at our conference, inspiring the audience and igniting new ideas for sustainable marketing practices.

The key intention of this 5th edition of ICGFBE 2024 is to provide opportunities for the global participants to share their ideas and experience in person with their peers who are expected to join from different parts of the world. In addition, this gathering will help the delegates to establish research or business networks as well as to find international linkage for future collaborations in their career path. We hope that the ICGFBE 2024 will lead to significant contributions to the knowledge base in the respective fields. Global markets are changing rapidly and are becoming more interdependent in all its aspects. This interdependence of the markets and the pace of changes that are taking place globally require engagement with the global community of experts. Similarly, the corporate reliance and dependence on global financial markets in the emerging economies have increased significantly in view of the cost and risk consciousness of a variety of financial products and financing options available in the markets. The challenges too are manifold in terms of regulatory aspects, expanded opportunities and changing role of financial institutions. With the rapid development in business and technology, enterprises are now facing escalating competitions and vague opportunities. How to assist enterprises in gaining competitive advantages through technological and managerial innovations has become a crucial issue for both academicians and practitioners.

We are heading towards more challenging times keeping in mind the Russia Ukraine Conflict along with the recent conflagration in the middle east with the terrorist attack in Israel an adding the fuel in fire is threat of US Recession. These events pose big financial and economic threats due to disruptions in the global supply chain. Further the Increase in the interest rate by the central banks of the different countries may cause the liquidity crises and will weaken the capital investment in the globe. The central banks and regulatory authorities have been cautious and introduced a number of policy reforms with the objective of finding a fine balance between prudent regulations and free markets to meet the emerging challenges faced in the financial capital markets. Further innovations and technology in finance and business are bringing the opportunity and challenges for corporates and faculty members.

The capital markets across the globe have gone under radical changes and received much focus since the financial crisis in 2008. In recent times, the commodity markets and other derivatives such as carbon emissions and the crypto currency markets have also emerged and are being traded globally. Recently, it has seen unprecedented volatility in the market. The vitality of the markets is crucial for sustainable economic growth and efficient allocation of scarce resources.

The proposed International Research Conference aims to provide a comprehensive platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and civil society. The primary objectives include:

• Exploration of Sectoral Dynamics: Delve into the unique challenges, opportunities, and synergies within the steel, power, skill development, coal, and infrastructure sectors, and their integrationwith the principles of Industry 0.
• Examinationof Innovation Opportunities: Identify emerging technological trends, disruptive innovations, and transformative shifts within these sectors, and explore strategies for leveraging Industry 0 to drive innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
• Promotionof Sustainable Development: Discuss policies, initiatives, and best practices aimed at fostering sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and inclusive growth, in alignment with Bharat’s vision for a Viksit (Developed) 

Objective of the conference is to bring together experts in the field of finance, business, policymakers, researchers and other stakeholder’s holders to deliberate of emerging issues in the field to inform future directions.

Probable outcome is robust discussions on the relevant issues and the presentations will be published in the conference proceedings.  Some of the presented papers at the conference will be published in the journals represented at the conference.

Need for this conference with the rapidly changing global environment there is a need for these robust discussions on these issues. India has been lagging in academic debate and international conferences and with its emerging position in the global economic environment Indian institutions are in a unique position to host conferences of this nature. It is also our civic and academic responsibility to host such gatherings to further the cause of research.
