HCLTech Becomes a Main Partner of the St. Gallen Symposium
As a new main partner of the St. Gallen Symposium, HCL Technologies (HCLTech) joins stakeholders and key decision-makers in the fields of economics, politics, sciences and society to foster intergenerational and cross-cultural dialogue with the next generation in mind.
Together, HCLTech and the St. Gallen Symposium will develop selected sessions and future discussion topics. In addition, HCLTech will become a partner of the Global Leadership Challenge (GLC), a joint initiative of the Oxford Character Project at the University of Oxford and the St. Gallen Symposium. Partnering with the St. Gallen Symposium will provide HCLTech with a platform to engage with current and future leaders from around the world, to discuss how digital technologies can help address some of the most pressing global issues of our time.
“HCL Technologies is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders and is excited to be an official partner at the world’s highly esteemed St. Gallen Symposium,” said Kalyan Kumar, CTO, and Head of Ecosystems, HCL Technologies. “Our experience in leading business and technology innovation encourages global leaders and local talent to adopt cross-generational thinking, providing inspiration to future leaders.”
As a global platform, the St. Gallen Symposium’s partnership with HCLTech reflects a decades-long presence in India and Asia. “We are proud to partner with HCL Technologies as a leading next-generation global technology company, which will enable us to further strengthen our global and interdisciplinary dialogue across generations”, said Beat Ulrich, CEO of the St. Gallen Symposium.
About the St. Gallen Symposium
Founded in 1969, the St. Gallen Symposium is the world’s most longstanding and relevant platform for cross-generational dialogue. By bringing together leaders of today and tomorrow on key questions of our time, it aims to inspire current decision-makers to lead with the next generation in mind. The St. Gallen Symposium fosters mutual understanding and joint action through the annual main symposium each May at the University of St.Gallen, year-round dialogue initiatives, as well as cutting-edge research and publications on next generation concerns and ways to renew the ties that bind generations. What makes the St. Gallen Symposium unique is the fact that it is strongly student-driven in a cross-generational setup: 30 students of the University of St. Gallen, The International Students’ Committee (ISC), pause their studies for a year to fully devote themselves to this initiative in collaboration with the St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies. Past formats of the St. Gallen Symposium have been enriched by the involvement of young and senior leaders from 100+ countries and of figures like Justin Trudeau (Canada), Christine Lagarde (European Central Bank), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (World Trade Organization), Christian Mumenthaler (Swiss Re), Karl Gernandt (Kühne+Nagel), Prof. Niall Ferguson (Stanford University), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Anders Fogh Rasmussen (NATO), Ben van Beurden (Shell), Julian Teicke (Wefox), Maria Ressa (Nobel Prize for Peace) or Subrahmanyam Jaishankar (External Affairs Minister of the Government of India) as well as each year key government members from several countries including Switzerland or Singapore – the two locations where the Symposium has an office presence.
The 52nd St. Gallen Symposium under the theme “A New Generational Contract” will explore ways to deal with current challenges to set the path for a more resilient, sustainable future. Year-round events and the annual main symposium in May 2023 will capture the generational contract and our responsibility to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of young and future generations.
