Food security has emerged as a critical challenge, defined by access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. As AI becomes a new frontier in food systems, with applications ranging from accelerating ingredient discovery to enabling precision agriculture, the gap between pilot initiatives and large-scale deployment remains substantial, particularly in Asia-Pacific where the majority of the world’s food is produced and consumed.

With food security at stake, what will it take to move from isolated pilots to true systemic transformation?

China is both the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide and the largest installer of renewable energy. While coal still powers close to 60% of the country’s electricity, China also controls 80% of the global solar panel supply chain and aims to build 150 new nuclear reactors by 2035.

What is China’s energy system trajectory?

As human life constantly evolves, the organisms that instigate the ebb and flow of infectious diseases follow in tandem, reflecting how societies inhabit, adapt to the environment and coexist.

What does research on the circular relationship between humans and pathogens reveal about what’s at stake if preventions and treatments don’t scale and become equitably accessible, and if diverse perspectives and ways of thinking are not embedded in the innovations?

Global foreign direct investment rebounded by 14% to $1.6 trillion in 2025, yet the gains remained heavily concentrated in advanced economies, widening the gap with the emerging markets expected to drive the majority of growth in the coming decades. Young populations, rapid digital adoption and expanding consumer bases give emerging economies significant structural advantages, but capital, technology and industrial capacity continue to flow elsewhere.

As competitiveness gaps widen, what is separating the front-runners from the laggards, and where will the next engines of growth emerge?

Biosolutions refer to radically modernized biological and chemical processes: leveraging AI and scientific innovation to make concrete grow, turn CO2 emissions into fertiliser, enhance food security and solve critical supply chain problems.

The potential is vast. But what will it take for biomanufacturing to achieve cost-competitive, global scale?

Digital tools and platforms have made learning more accessible than at any point in history, yet foundational literacy and numeracy are falling in many economies. While we have improved user experiences and abundant content, the ability to learn is not catching up.

Why is unprecedented access to knowledge not producing better outcomes and how can it be used to improve how we learn?
