“The Race to Become the Next International Business Hub: Opportunities and Challenges for the LGBTI Business Community”
Over the past couple of decades, Costa Rica government’s commitment to promote democratic values and financial reforms has attracted major Fortune 100 companies. Other countries such as India have managed to be on their way to become a “star-up” nation, but the lack of relevant government policies that promote economic equality and inclusion continue to hinder the growth of SME’s across the country. What challenges and opportunities will the LGBTI business community face throughout the race for developing countries to become the next business hub? How will the increasing interest from corporations to invest in up and coming international business hubs encourage more robust diversity and inclusion initiatives across sectors?

“Paving the Way Towards Economic Inclusion Across the World Through Government Policies”
What are some of the latest policy developments aiming to protect legal rights, promote economic growth and bring awareness to the socioeconomic challenges the LGBTI community throughout the world? For instance, Uruguay just approved a law that would allow foreigners to marry; Argentina is one of the LAC region champions paving the way for social and economic inclusion to become part of the government’s agenda; earlier this year, Taiwan and Ecuador’s lawmakers passed a bill to recognize same-sex marriage. From the BE’s, government, and civil society perspective, what other government policies will play a key role in promoting economic advancement for the LGBTI community in the future?
