The B20 Summit, part of the G20 business group, opened today in Washington. The event is organized by the US Chamber of Commerce under the theme 'Accelerating Global Growth.'

The summit brings together business leaders, officials, and policymakers from around the world to discuss priorities in trade, investment, energy, and innovation as part of the US presidency of the G20.

The B20 is focusing on four key areas: economic growth, innovation, trade, and energy.
