This Week: Bloomberg’s Global Media Platforms Spotlight the First New Economy Catalysts Ahead of June 30 Event

June 28, 2021

Wednesday’s virtual global gathering marks the launch of a new community transforming the future

Tune in on Wednesday, June 30 at 9:00AM GMT (5:00AM EST) for the inaugural Bloomberg New Economy Catalyst virtual event showcasing the innovators and entrepreneurs accelerating solutions to today’s greatest problems. Revealed earlier this month by Michael R. Bloomberg, the very first annual cohort New Economy Catalysts are making a significant impact — working across borders, in emerging economies and beyond — to promote economic growth and social advancement around the world.

Andrew Browne, Bloomberg’s New Economy Editorial Director, writes on Bloomberg.com today: “The coronavirus has raged across the globe for 18 months, bringing with it waves of infection, economic calamity and millions of deaths. But this catastrophe has also led to the delivery of multiple vaccines in record time and new technology that holds promise for treating other intractable afflictions….Behind all of these breakthroughs are scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs and policymakers. They are catalysts. Collectively, these remarkable figures inspire new ideas, fresh thinking and novel approaches to old quandaries. But most importantly, they incite action.”

All this week, Bloomberg Media will highlight the New Economy Catalysts across its global platforms with special written features, new episodes on Quicktake’s “Game Changers” streaming series, live Bloomberg TV interviews and more:
