Can Psychedelics Improve Mental Health? With C. Angermayer & Uma Thurman | Global Conference 2021
C. Angermayer, Uma Thurman, Christian Angermayer, Robert Mancini
German biotech investor Christian Angermeyer founded Atai Life Sciences to develop psychedelic therapeutics capable of treating over one billion people suffering from mental health conditions that current standard medications often fail to address. By targeting the brain's Default Mode Network to induce neuroplasticity, Angermeyer's pipeline includes non-addictive compounds like psilocybin and MDMA intended to be administered under strict medical supervision rather than for recreational use. The strategic goal is to reclassify these substances through rigorous FDA protocols to resolve widespread anxiety, addiction, and trauma while eventually fostering broader societal reconciliation as medical efficacy becomes undeniable.

The Private Equity Edge | Global Investors' Symposium Mexico City 2024
Carolina Millan, Luis Cervantes, Pablo Coballasi, Christine Kenna, Scott Sobel
General Atlantic and regional investors are leveraging a $4 billion annual venture capital market in Latin America, characterized by a 20x growth since 2010 and a strategic shift toward local capital and women-led enterprises.

Shifting from Reactive to Proactive Health Care | Asia Summit 2024
Sung Hee Choe, Binayak Dutta, Amit Kakar, Lance Little, Simranjit Singh, Tracey Woon, Simran Singh
Facing a healthcare expenditure projected to surpass defense spending by 2030, Singapore launched the Healthier SG initiative to shift focus from acute treatment to preventive care managed by general practitioners. This strategic pivot addresses critical gaps in chronic disease management and early cancer detection by leveraging government incentives, while innovators like Roche Diagnostics and Novo Holdings introduce self-sampling technologies and AI diagnostics to overcome behavioral barriers and workforce shortages. Despite these advances, stakeholders emphasize that sustained progress requires resolving regulatory friction, aligning financial incentives for prevention, and accelerating patient adoption through targeted behavioral nudges and dynamic insurance models.

Banking on an Inclusive Future | Global Investors' Symposium Mexico City 2024
Rodrigo Bettini, Gabriela Zapata, Ruben Coppel, Tonatiuh Rodríguez Gómez
The Milken Institute convened a panel to analyze financial inclusion strategies in Mexico, highlighting how institutions like Banco Azteca and Banco BanCoppel leverage physical retail networks to serve the 81% of the population earning under $600 monthly. Experts emphasized that true inclusion requires moving beyond basic account access to generate wealth, noting that rigid regulatory frameworks currently hinder the unbanked by failing to accommodate volatile income streams and informal credit histories. Looking ahead, the discussion underscored the necessity for hybrid service models combining digital tools with face-to-face interactions and called for regulatory sandboxes to test differentiated rules that better support low-income demographics ahead of global climate and economic summits.

Global Overview: Pathways to Inclusive Growth | Global Investors' Symposium Mexico City 2024
Richard Ditizio, Robert Citrone, Agustin Coppel, Altagracia Gomez
President Sheinbaum's new administration is accelerating Mexico's nearshoring strategy by establishing ten strategic industrial corridors, slashing permit processing times by half, and setting renewable energy targets of 45% by 2030. This policy shift, supported by a massive domestic STEM workforce and regulatory reforms in sectors like Grupo Coppel's expansion, aims to capitalize on a global macroeconomic realignment toward pro-market Latin American governments. Despite these structural advantages, the investment community emphasizes that long-term success hinges on the government strengthening the rule of law to ensure private sector growth without excessive interference.

Mini-Lateralism? Political and Economic Alignments in this Transformed Era | Asia Summit 2024
Dino Patti Djalal, Dato Onn Hafiz Bin Ghazi, Ford Hart, Kishore Mahbubani, Veerle Nouwens
Amidst a perceived decline in traditional multilateral efficacy, a strategic shift toward minilateralism is underway as like-minded nations prioritize speed and trust over broad inclusivity to address urgent security and economic challenges. Key coalitions such as the Quad and AUKUS, alongside regional frameworks like ASEAN, are increasingly viewed as complementary rather than competitive, allowing for targeted action on issues ranging from supply chain resilience to infrastructure development without necessarily undermining established regional centrality. This evolving global governance model balances the legitimate but slow consensus of large bodies with the agile effectiveness of exclusive groups, enabling states to navigate geopolitical tensions and pursue growth even under constitutional non-alignment constraints.
