Geo-political shifts, global competition, and new technologies can seem daunting, but with resilience, vision, and collaboration, we can and will succeed. This observation was made by President of the Association for Global Business, Marlon Yarde. He was delivering the welcome remarks ahead of the start of Global Business Week 2025. Mr. Yarde said, despite the challenges, business must always serve people and the community and Barbados remains an attractive destination for investment and business. Mr. Yarde said this year’s Global Business Week will place much attention on the youth, as the body focuses on the next generation.
