The theme of this year’s summit is “Rebuilding for All” and will
focus on sustainable growth, financial security and data for good
initiatives. As the global pandemic has both accelerated the shift
to a digital economy and exacerbated inequality, it has never been
more important to understand how constantly shifting demographics,
circumstances, and technologies affect the growth, security, and
prosperity of communities all over the world.
The 2021 summit builds on the success of the inaugural 2019
Global Inclusive Growth Summit, which brought together 500
purpose-driven leaders to share inspiring ideas and solutions and
galvanized action to create a more inclusive economy. Four
philanthropic organizations including Mastercard committed more
than $72 million in funding to advance equitable and sustainable
economic growth. This year, as part of the Clinton Foundation’s
efforts to accelerate an inclusive economic recovery, the Clinton
Global Initiative is partnering with Mastercard Center for
Inclusive Growth and Aspen Institute to advance more projects
supporting widespread economic growth.
