Navigating a New Era of Risk and Opportunity: Geopolitics, AI, and the Future of Global Business
*This event is closed to the media, and the Chatham House Rule will apply to all attendees. This session will be conducted in English.
Presentation Overview
In an era defined by geopolitical volatility, national security considerations, and rapid regulatory and technological change, these issues have become permanent board level priorities for multinational organizations. Corporate leaders are grappling with a consistent set of questions:
- How to build operational resilience in an unpredictable geopolitical and geoeconomics landscape?
- How can leaders effectively manage the disruption and organizational transformation driven by AI across global businesses?
- How should corporate strategy evolve to achieve growth and retain profitability while avoiding the pitfalls in an international market fraught with risk and complexity?
Drawing on recent dialogue with global policymakers and C-suite executives, Sunny will share perspectives on how businesses are responding in practice by strengthening resilience, recalibrating strategy, and continuing to pursue growth amid uncertainty.
