NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

In today’s interconnected world, activating local solutions is the new imperative. The pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and evolving social priorities highlight the need to refocus on local communities, economies, and actors in order to continue a path toward sustainable growth and a more resilient economy. Through the lens of Regenerating Local, we will explore how local solutions can restore ecosystems, strengthen communities, rebuild relationships, and regain trust. Together, we can create a better future for our businesses and the planet, paving the way for a more prosperous and sustainable next chapter. As always, our sessions throughout SB’23 San Diego will illuminate the key trends facing brands, and we will hear from leaders across the spectrum, including sustainability, brand, innovation/R&D and more.
