Along with the Concordia Leadership Council, several current and former heads of state, corporate executives, and leaders from prominent nongovernmental organizations, Concordia hosted its second annual conference in New York City on September 27, 2012. The 2012 Concordia Summit included sessions and discussions surrounding five subtopic pillars, including security, health, education, natural resources, and the economy. By providing a forum between policymakers and business leaders, the 2012 Concordia Summit was not only a productive and invigorating experience for all participants, but also a vital step towards developing and elevating the public-private endeavors we aim to promote.
Former President of the United States of America, William J. Clinton, was Concordia’s featured keynote speaker at the 2012 Concordia Summit. During a discussion with Concordia Co-Founders Matthew Swift and Nicholas Logothetis, President Clinton answered questions relating to P3s in post-conflict countries, the intersection of profit and social good, and the economic and political outlook for countries such as Greece and Afghanistan.

Prime Minister of Haiti Laurent Lamothe also addressed attendees on the role of the public and private sectors in Haiti’s development and prosperity.
