SUSTG is covering the events and meetings taking place in the run up to the G20 in November as part of our “Road to the G20” series of posts and featured items. This week, Saudi Arabia will host the B20 business-focused group, as well as the T20 meetings later this week.
The Business Twenty (B20) is the official G20 dialogue with the business community. As the voice of the private sector to the G20, it represents the global business community across all G20 member states and all economic sectors. Formed in 2010, it is the first engagement group of the G20.
The B20 supports the G20 through specific policy recommendations, the consolidated representation of business interests and economic expertise.
“The B20 Summit comes at a time like no other in modern history when the world is facing the urgent need for global economies’ leaders to collaborate,” organizers said. “As a global community, we recognize that governments cannot act alone and businesses need to play an important role. Global collaboration and effective international dialogue – and platforms such as the B20 – will be key to our collective success. And as the voice of business to the G20, B20 Saudi Arabia will convene global leaders to address these pivotal challenges and create an inclusive, resilient and sustainable economic future for all.”
