Risky Business: The London World Economic Forum 2011
Earlier this month saw Stream UK perform a live webcast from the London World Economic Forum on Global Risk using Stream Connect, marking the latest in a series of ongoing collaborations with leading insurance broker and risk adviser Marsh Plc.
The forum was held as part of a drive to review and discuss the results and ramifications of the recently published Global Risk Report 2011. The report, which centres on the three main ‘risk clusters’: macroeconomic imbalances, the relationship between illicit activities and state fragility and issues surrounding the supply of basic resources, can be found on the World Economic Forum’s website.
