Multinational enterprises (MNEs) rely on these talented individuals to unlock innovation, fuel growth, and navigate the complexities of international markets. Yet, amidst a tightening talent pool and stringent immigration controls, MNEs find themselves at a crossroads, juggling two critical tools for unlocking the potential of high-skill knowledge workers: geographic mobility and digital connectivity. This year’s iBEGIN delves into the intricate intertwining of these approaches, exploring their interplay, substitutability, and complementarity within the dynamics of corporate innovation.
