On November 8th, Dragon Capital and Fulbright University Vietnam co-hosted an inspiring lecture by Professor Ben Groom, the Dragon Capital Chair in Biodiversity Economics at the University of Exeter.

The lecture “Biodiversity in the Economy and the Economy in Nature” highlighted the vital role biodiversity plays in sustaining our well-being and economy. Professor Groom emphasized the growing risks of biodiversity loss and the urgent need to incorporate biodiversity considerations into economic decision-making. His insights underscore the importance of preserving biodiversity for environmental stability and economic resilience.

The Dragon Capital Chair in Biodiversity Economics is a five-year initiative (2020–2025) at the University of Exeter’s LEEP Institute, supported by Dragon Capital. The program reflects our commitment to advancing research at the intersection of ecology and economics, particularly across Asia’s frontier markets.
