BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- theDifference, a specialized facilitation, data + design company, co-designed and delivered the World Bank Group's Investor Forum on the eve of the G20 Summit. The Forum convened CEO's of the top global institutional investors, select G20 Heads of State and Ministers of Finance, regulators, and global development finance institutions to discuss ways to mobilize private capital to meet the world's development challenges.
Key public sector leaders at the Forum included President of Argentina Maurice Macri, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, Deputy Prime Minister of Japan Taro Aso, President of the World Bank Group Jim Yong Kim, and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde.
