The ASPIRE Annual Conference reaches out to multiple audiences, each vital to nurturing the local ecosystems necessary to capture opportunity.
From the global business services and technology industry: top level managers and top talent at the local level; also senior managers at the corporate level.
On the supply side: country managers, senior managers at the corporate level and regional and local representatives from real es ta te, recru i tment , t ra in ing, IT, consultancy and professional services rms.
From government and administration: local, national and international govern-ment representatives; also promotion and investor support agencies.
From academia and the NGO sector: local academics and student leaders; also international researchers and advisors on cities development and cross sector cooperation.
Additionally: business analysts, real estate fund managers and potential investors exploring the dynamics of the CEE market; local, national and international media, and local entrepreneurs.

CREATING THE SPIRIT OF OUR VERY OWN MARKET SQUARE
We will also introduce two new exclusive invitation-only events:the Chairman’s Breakfast and the President’s Dinner.
The main venue for the conference is Kraków’s 36,000 m² state of the art ICE Congress Centre. ICE will host several events, including:
THE THEME of the Industry Summit is the interplay of people, technology and cities in value creation.
Based on the ASPIRE motto, ACT LOCAL, WIN GLOBAL we will explore how cities climb the value chain and the role played by the multinational business services and technology industry in driving the process.
Our thesis is that business services and technology centres are key drivers of change with the potential to transform cities’ global competitiveness.
Cities which best leverage the presence of multinational business emerge to become engines of value creation in the global economy.
The Industry Summit will focus on three key industries: Technology, Global Business Services and Financial Services, exploring global trends, impacts of new and potential future technologies and current and future talent requirements.
We aim to arrive at a blueprint for companies and cities to emerge as winners in the “New Dragon Economy.”

ASPIRE
Greg Clark is an international cities expert and advisor to several global cities, including London, Sao Paulo, Singapore, New York, and Hong Kong.
He is Senior Fellow at the Urban Land Institute, Chief Advisor and Chairman of the OECD’s Forum on Local Development and Investment, Lead Advisor on the World Bank Urbanisation Knowledge Forum, Fellow of the Brookings Institution in Washington, Associate of LSE Cities, and a Visiting Professor at Cass Business School.
At the ASPIRE Conference, Greg will focus on cross-sector partnerships for city development.
Physicist Geoffrey West believes that complex systems from organisms to cities are in many ways governed by simple laws that can be discovered and analysed.
A past president of the multidisciplinary Santa Fe Institute (after decades working in high-energy physics at Stanford), he now studies the behaviour and development of cities.
In his newest work, he proposes that one simple number, population, can predict a stunning array of details about any city, from crime rate to economic activity. His next target for study: corporations.
Geoffrey will deliver a presentation on Cities and Corporations: Scale and Sustainability, drawing on his wide knowledge of ecosystems and universal laws of biology.

IAN ANGELL is no stranger to the ASPIRE Annual Conference - this will be his third appearance.
Emeritus Profess of Information Systems at the London School of Economics, Ian’s radical views on the global implications of information technology have earned him a high-prole reputation as a “futurologist.”
In his 2001 book, The New Barbarian Manifesto, he lays out his advice on how to win in an increasingly brutal and brutish world dominated by hot spots of prosperity and talent.
At the ASPIRE Conference, Ian will focus his powers on the future of money in the age of technology.
MALALA YOUSAFZAI is an activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school.
In October 2012, a gunman boarded Malala’s school bus, asked for her by name, and then shot her three times. Malala survived and her advocacy has since grown into an international movement.
The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of Time magazine featured her as one of "The 100 Most Inuential People in the World.”

Headcount in business services and technology in Kraków has grown by 20% per annum over the last ve years and this year will cross the threshold of 50,000 people employed. More than 130 multinational companies operate centres in the city.
