2:05 PM - 3:00 PM - Geopolitics: Seeing the World As It Is vs What It Should Be

In today's media, we are fed an unending diet of doom & gloom. We are on the precipice of an era of substantial change, but volatility is not necessarily or always a risk. It is also an opportunity. 

The world is deglobalizing, trade is near-shoring, energy markets are transforming, technology is accelerating... and opportunity is rising.

Geopolitics is about seeing the world as it is and not as we want it to be -- and we'll do just that in this session by scanning the horizon for both risks and opportunities that lie ahead. Explore how these shifts to a multipolar world impact trade, energy, technology, and shipping, and discover strategies for navigating these global dynamics to seize new opportunities and ensure long-term competitiveness.
