International Conference on Applied Business and Economics (ICABE 2023)

Conference Call for ICABE 2023


Europe is nowadays facing the most serious security crisis in decades generated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine that rages on and exerts a notable toll on the economy, while also urging to tackle current and future challenges like technological advancement/innovations, and its (un)intended consequences, contrasting demographic patterns, labor market transformations, and climate change. These economic, geopolitical, and social developments in Europe require a coordinated response in a fast-changing and new world of threats. Comprehensive and tailored strategies need to be enforced to achieve greater convergence and strengthen sustainable economic development. The years ahead will be defined for the future of Europe and Europe’s place on the global economic stage widely shaped by technological and economic spheres of influence.

ICABE 2023 conference deals with these topical subjects and provides valuable insights from scientists, professors, experts, professionals, industry leaders, policy-makers, and institution representatives that present their research and strands of thought to the wider community, offering a glimpse into the latest trends and knowledge in this scientific field.

Global challenges are notably shaping the world economy and politics while extending the understanding of geopolitics to embrace new areas such as technology, environment, and health.
