Innovation is central to productivity, growth, and job creation—but it thrives only in the right business environment. Competitive markets, reliable infrastructure, access to finance, and clear regulations shape firms’ ability to innovate and scale. Drawing on fresh evidence from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/en/enterprisesurveys) across 160+ economies, this forum brings together policymakers, business leaders, and leading researchers to examine the business conditions firms face today and across time. The speakers will also discuss smarter policy and private-sector decisions that can unlock innovation, generate private sector jobs, and accelerate economic growth.
