Multinational companies from emerging economies (EMNCs) have become major players in the globalized world economy and wield growing influence on economic dynamics in developed, emerging, and developing countries alike. Firms and governments in developed countries increasingly need to engage with the array of challenges and opportunities presented by emerging market multinationals seeking access to markets and assets.
Important impacts of outward direct investment from emerging economies (OFDI) are also felt in developing host countries, where investments from emerging economies are becoming more and more significant. No less important are the effects in the home countries of the outward investing firms themselves. The rise of outward investment from emerging and developing countries requires further scrutiny theoretically, empirically and methodologically.
The 2025 OFDI Conference aims to promote better dialogue and understanding of the interplay between the three phenomena of green transition, emerging markets, and foreign direct investment (FDI) and its implications for global sustainability. Hence, the conference welcomes a broad array of papers that analyze any combination of the three phenomena.
