An inspiring address exploring how leaders can steer economies, industries, and institutions through an era defined by geopolitical tension, technological disruption, climate pressure, and weakening multilateral cooperation. The keynote examines the balance between competitiveness and climate responsibility, the resurgence of industrial policy as governments race to secure critical minerals, energy systems, and strategic supply chains, and the risks and opportunities created by a world shifting from globalisation to fragmentation. It also considers the obligations of corporate and public leaders to shape a more resilient form of capitalism-one that aligns long-term investment with societal stability, transparent governance, and sustainable growth. This keynote sets out a clear, unifying vision for how nations and institutions can uphold openness, maintain competitiveness, and reinforce international cooperation while navigating a rapidly changing global order.
