Global trade is undergoing profound change as economies grapple with shifting supply chains, rapid advances in artificial intelligence, and the transition to cleaner energy. We are coming to you from the Summer Davos Forum in Dalian, where policymakers, business leaders, and academics from around the world are discussing how to navigate these transformations. One key question at this year's forum is how these changes will affect workers, and whether they will create new opportunities or deepen existing challenges. To discuss the future of jobs, skills, and sustainable growth, Song Ruixin is joined by Professor Mercedes Maroto-Valer, Deputy Principal for Global Sustainability at Heriot-Watt University, and Kathleen Alexander, co-founder and CEO of Savor, a San Jose based food startup.
