Since 2011, the Concordia Annual Summit has convened the world’s most prominent business, government, and nonprofit leaders to foster dialogue and enable effective partnerships for social impact. The Annual Summit plenary stage features some of the foremost thought leaders, providing valuable insights into the current state of world affairs as they relate to public-private partnerships.

Bulcke spoke about the ways Nestlé is tackling the problem of youth unemployment around the world through its apprenticeship program. Logothetis noted concerns about the high unemployment rate among young people in Greece, while Bulcke observed that the problem is not only in Greece, Spain, or Portugal, but in many countries globally.
