On top of “business-as-usual”, company leaders must face very complex and uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, particularly for global companies. Some of the macroeconomic uncertainties these leaders have to overcome are inflation, rising interest rates, and fear of recession.

Join us to hear from MIT faculty and MIT Startup Exchange entrepreneurs to learn about their views on how to deal with some of these pressing issues, lead creatively and innovate in times of uncertainty.
