WHEF 2025 marks the 10th edition of the conference, which is being hosted in the Southern Hemisphere, for the first time with support of South Australian State government.
Economic prosperity is the basis to sustain a civilisation, as enshrined in Chanakya’s Arthshastra (Dharmasya Moolam Arthah – Righteousness and Sustainable wealth creation is the source of strength).
