This is 12th continuous edition from the series of panels organized by the Commonwealth Research Network on International Business (CRN-IB) at the AIB UK & Ireland conference. With the support of the AIB and leading academics from around the globe, the CRN-IB was established at a special session during the Annual European International Business Conference in Brighton in 2012.

At the 50th AIB UK & Ireland Chapter Conference in Aston, the panel will consider outcomes from the 2023 Trade Ministers Meeting in London. In particular it will build on a recent Commonwealth Secretariat Trade Hot Topics paper on ‘Enhancing Intra-Commonwealth Trade and Investment: An International Business Research Agenda’ (Buckley et al, 2023). It will also discuss the objectives and progress of the newly established Commonwealth Sub-Action Group on Investment, Working Group on Trade and Investment and its priority focus on technology and innovation and the development of tangible options / initiatives to support countries to attract inward investment in a context of Disruptions, Transformations and New Internationalisation Trends.
