"During last 30 years, the world economy has changed significantly. Yesterday the center of the world was New York, today is Shanghai and tomorrow will be everywhere: in Nigeria, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia.
Globalization has developed interactions between countries in terms of trade, finance, investments, diplomacy and culture. G200 is a project that promotes future change from the G20 to the global economy with investments to every developed, emerging, and frontier country.
This a Voyage to 200 economies and 5 continents: America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. I want to combine my passion for traveling to the new frontiers with the interest for emerging markets"
