Linking Economies

Through Knowledge

The eNotus Vision

The eNotus vision is a single information standard by which all nations can view economic opportunities, examine the minutiae of distant markets and adopt world-best practice. Our vision is to enable investment to target efficient production and cost effective service providers in developing economies, increase investment flows into these economies, help their private sectors to raise growth rates, and to connect their labor markets to global opportunities. Since 2003 eNotus has been engaged in the first of their kind economic development initiatives in the Middle East, Africa and across the Asian Continent. These include the Economic Summit MENA, the International University MENA and thought leadership forums such as the Faculty of the Future for MENA. Since 2010 extensive investigations have been conducted into privacy issues and those related to Trust in and between business entities.

The result has been new projects and relationships beginning in 2017 that have focussed on Cities and their needs, for new more democratic financial systems, and the future of work; as jobs, education and security moved to the centre of the global agenda for a digital world. This of course is highlighted by economic disruption and the health crisis resulting from the Pandemic.

Global Solutions Summit 2022

The Global Solutions Summit is the world’s premier forum for transforming research-based insights into policy recommendations for the G7/G20. Its goal is better global governance for the common good. This high-level meeting brings together senior government officials with top-level academic researchers, NGO leaders, and international CEOs. Held annually in Berlin, this year’s conference takes place March 28-29 in a hybrid format.

The theme of the Global Solutions Summit 2022 is “Listen to the world: Promoting social well-being within planetary boundaries”.  It covers the priorities of the G20 and G7. It aims to be a steppingstone to the G/T20 and G/T7 Summits, a place where Think20 and Think7 Task Forces can discuss their work with regard to their policy briefs and where multistakeholder decision-makers can discuss collective approaches to G20 and G7 problems. 

The B20 has officially handed over its Policy Recommendations to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin

The B20 has officially handed over its Policy Recommendations to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin – May 3rd, 2017

The recommendations are the product of a yearlong process of our seven Taskforces and Cross-thematic Groups, which comprise over 700 members from all G20 economies. Developed under the theme “Building Resilience – Improving Sustainability – Assuming Responsibility”, the B20 Policy Recommendations span the entire scope of the G20 process: from the need to maintain an open, rule-based trading system, to facilitating sustainable finance and increased efforts to widen the inclusiveness and resilience of the labor market in the face of technological change.

Germany assumed the G20 Presidency at a time of growing uncertainty around the world. The business community stands ready to take responsibility and do its part. We would like to thank all our members and partners for their continuous engagement, without which this process would not have been possible.

You can download the English version of the B20 Summary document containing the Policy Recommendations here.

B20 Indonesia 2022. Stakeholder consultation with G20 Future of Work & Education working group.

Responding to COVID-19 pandemic conditions and in line with the agenda of the B20 Indonesia, the Future of Work and Education Task Force shared three main priority issues of the group, namely:
1. Sustainable job creation
2. Education and skills for productivity
3. Enquity and inclusion 

The Future of Work and Education Task Force will offer concrete policy recommendations based on these major challenges. This meeting aimed to get more insight from the G20 Education Working Group on how to develop the learning systems to meet labor-market needs, with a focus on improving productivity, innovation and shrinking skills gaps.

Recent Developments

In 2021 and 2022 eNotus International continued its activities under the G20 Italian Presidency and the current Presidency held by Indonesia. This followed participation in several Italian B20 task forces, in Italy, and developing proposals for the U20 in conjunction with the special advisor for the Italian event. During this period disrupted by the pandemic, assistance from the OECD made it possible to continue research and projects of importance, including further work on Inclusive capital concepts and with Business for Inclusive Growth, (a group inspired by the G7 in Paris during 2019) and having its organization hosted by the OECD. Considerable focus is on needs of small business enterprises in Indonesia, Vietnam and in India, where partnerships are being forged in areas of fintech, new working capital products and related data analytics.
