GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
Africa<br />
The theme of African development, trade and economics are central both to the Summit and to the efforts<br />
of the Louise Blouin Institute. The Africa roundtable is an extended session lasting approximately four hours<br />
and in the past has featured in-depth discussion of African development needs between heads of state, leading<br />
CEOs and figures from the NGO world, educators and economists involved in development work. The session<br />
is used to identify potential solutions for Africa, based on best practices put forward by delegates.<br />
Beyond this Summit session devoted to Africa, the Louise Blouin Foundation has launched an investment-andtechnology<br />
initiative for Africa, to generate greater direct foreign investment, as well as to help maximize the<br />
efforts of NGOs and global agencies on the ground. [See Regional Initiatives section for more information.]<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
Russia<br />
Russia is a key emerging economy of global importance not only because of its vast resource wealth but because<br />
of its position on the world stage, where it exerts significant influence in Eastern Europe and Central<br />
Asia. Russia therefore must be viewed as a vital and strategic partner in addressing global issues, whether they<br />
are related to energy security, the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction or the raising of living<br />
standards throughout the region. The Summit’s focus on Russia addresses the nation’s vital role in the international<br />
community.<br />
As part of its regional focus on Russia, and to encourage openness and cultural exchange, the Louise Blouin<br />
Foundation will host an exhibition in collaboration with Pace Wildenstein Gallery of works by the artist Louise<br />
Nevelson, and another exhibition of new Russian contemporary art, in the fall of 2009 in London. [See<br />
