Even with Nepal facing social uncertainties amid its transitional phase, harboring a hope for its bright future and its target of becoming middle-income nation is not that far-fetched. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of people actively contributing towards nation-building, there is also a strong potential for sectors to work towards a common goal-by recognizing cross-cutting agendas and common targets. This session will discuss the varying dimensions of social and economic development that employ a comprehensive and balanced approach and ensures progress and long-term accountability. Speakers:

Jim Rogers, a prominent American investor, once said, "If you were smart in 1807, you moved to London, if you were smart in 1907, you moved to New York, and if you are smart in 2007, you move to Asia." Investments in small Asian frontier markets have proven to have a promising future. Nepal has become one such hub--as a result of its rapid urbanisation and development; and it promises large investment opportunities. The speakers in this session, which will revolve around chasing investments, will shed light on Nepal's untapped business areas and on how they can contribute to the nation's growth. Speakers:
