Program Day 2
| Day Two | Tuesday, 3 March 2009 |
| 08.00 - 09.00 | Refreshments & Networking |
| 09.00 - 10.30 | PLENARY 1 Beyond Scarcity: Overcoming The Global Food Crisis Not too long ago, oil prices hit the ceiling due to volatile production patterns caused by instability in the Gulf among other factors. This greatly affected the cost of food production, and coupled with the rapid growth of the biofuels industry which takes away food for consumption into the energy market, food prices went rocket high. Lack of international cooperation in this matter also meant that worldwide markets are getting tighter and the pain suffered by the abject poor only lasts longer. This is more so the case in food import-dependent countries where slight changes in price greatly affects the purchasing power of the population, which means millions will go hungry. The gold rush towards biofuel is also taking away food from the hungry. What are the immediate steps to remedy the situation? How can the Muslim world collaborate to mitigate the price pressures? Are there investment opportunities in food for global corporations? Speakers: -H.E. Anton Apriantono, Minister of Agriculture, Republic of Indonesia -H.E. Yedil Mamytbekov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Republic of Kazakhstan -Mr. Joachim von Braun, Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute, US -Mr Hans Joehr, Head of Agriculture, Nestlé SA Moderator: Dr. Harbrinderjit Singh Dillon, Senior Governance Advisor, Centre for Agriculture and Policy Studies, Indonesia |
| 10.30 - 12.00 | PLENARY 2 Paving a Greener World: Creating a Future for Alternative Energy The UN reported that millions of new jobs will be created worldwide over the next few decades by the development of alternative energy technologies. More than a million people are currently employed in biofuels industry but that the figure could rise to 12 million by 2030. Green economy has to grow at a more progressive pace in order to take advantage of manpower needs fuelled by the cost of rapid increase of greenhouse gases. However “green jobs” are dependent upon subsidy shift from oil and natural gas towards wind, solar, and geothermal power. Are governments ready to invest on alternative energy technologies? Panelists: -Mr. Abdullah Hussein Salat, Senior Advisor, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, State of Qatar -Mr. Bill Spence, Vice President for Future Fuels and Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Royal Dutch Shell Group. -Dato Sabri Ahmad, Chairman, Malaysia Palm Oil Board -Mr. Roland Jansen, President, Mother Earth Plantations, Switzerland Moderator: Mr. Ari H.

| 14.00 - 15.30 | PLENARY 3 Stemming the Tide of the Global Financial Crisis The world’s financial crisis in recent months brought about great instability not only to the US economy but to the world at large. With a staggering USD700bn rescue package being passed in the US Parliament to salvage the colossal loss incurred by such names as the Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and US’ biggest insurance company, AIG, and tremors being felt in most part of Europe and Asia, one goes to wonder whether this is the end of an era of debt trading and market speculation. Is debt trading a major factor of the financial crisis? Will the world go into a new era of regulatory economics? How will the new global framework take shape after this crisis is over? Is the world ready to allow market to develop its own financial needs of the society? Could Islamic Banking provide an alternative to the current banking system? Keynote Speaker: H.E.

| 15.30 - 17.00 | PLENARY 4 Global SMEs: Business Beyond Boundaries The key to success of emerging small and medium sized companies is the ability to steer itself into a lucrative and promising openings in the market and banking on it with the proper skills and resources. In order to do so, companies need to constantly come up with innovative and cutting-edge ideas in order to be on top of the rest in the industry. This requires corporate strategy and market research, especially when one decides to traverse beyond the domestic market. Knowledge of local markets is crucial for survival for example. Should socio-cultural conditions be a central element in corporate decision-making? How best can central and local governments facilitate the growth of SMEs? Speakers: Datuk Ir. Mohamed Al Amin Hj.
