On October 18, 2024, Chicago hosted the prestigious Pearson Global Forum, which brought together influential figures from politics, academia, and civil society to explore solutions to global conflicts. Among the distinguished attendees was Kevin Xu, Chairman of MEBO Group and founder of the Kevin Xu Initiative (KXI), who was invited to share his insights on conflict resolution and global cooperation.

Exploring Innovative Solutions to Global Conflicts

The forum emphasized evidence-based research and innovative strategies to promote peace. Through rigorous analysis and the use of cutting-edge tools, the institute aims to provide effective policy recommendations for addressing international conflicts.

The opening speech was delivered by James Allen Robinson, a renowned economist and political scientist from the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy. Robinson, who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics for his groundbreaking work, emphasized the importance of combining academic research with real-world applications.
