      KPMG Consulting is pleased to invite you to the conference: Make Growth Happen: Strategic Resilience as a Competitive Advantage. This event is dedicated to exploring how resilience helps businesses adapt faster, make better decisions, and stay competitive in an increasingly uncertain environment. The conference is organized in person at KPMG in Romania’s Bucharest headquarter, at 89A București - Ploiești road, and broadcast live on Ziarul Financiar's website. 

      In the current context – marked by economic volatility, the rapid advance of artificial intelligence, shifting talent dynamics, and growing exposure to climate risk – resilience is no longer only about protecting the business. It is becoming a critical driver of performance, adaptability, and sustainable growth.

      The main topics will include:

      • New perspectives on strategic resilience.
      • Key trends across the economy, technology & AI, talent, and climate risk.
      • Business examples drawn from client experience.
      • Practical frameworks, insights, and tools that help leaders assess resilience and define priorities.

      The event will bring together senior executives and business leaders to examine how resilience can strengthen organizations and support sustainable growth.
