The Nobel Prize in Economics 2025 recognized research showing that long-term growth depends on a relentless cycle of innovation replacing the old and creating the new. In a world marked by uncertainty, fragmentation and technological disruption, this insight feels more relevant than ever.

Can the principles of creative renewal be turned into practical strategies for growth?

With private market assets having tripled since 2013 and projected to reach $20 trillion by 2030, traditional and retail investors are increasingly turning to these investments.

As private credit and other private market strategies expand, how can strong attention continue to draw investment while also avoiding systemic risks?

How is the perception of risk shifting over time, as crises become increasingly interconnected and frequent?

As geopolitical competition intensifies and threats to critical energy infrastructure grow, nations are pursuing divergent paths to achieve energy security. Some are expanding the use of clean energy, others revisiting nuclear production, upgrading grid infrastructure, or leveraging traditional hydrocarbons.

What impact will these differing strategies have on global energy demand and on those looking to secure reliable energy for the long term?

Glaciers cover just 10% of the Earth yet sustain half of humanity – and they’re vanishing at an alarming rate. Beyond providing freshwater, they regulate climate, support ecosystems and power communities.

Mountain regions have become hubs of climate innovation, where scientists, policy-makers and local communities race to preserve ice and protect the billions who depend on it. How can we scale solutions to safeguard these vital ecosystems?

Banking Accelerated

The era of incremental change in banking is reaching an end. Instead of reacting to digitization, banks must adopt and instead of being restrained by regulations, they must adapt.

As tech companies, fintechs and traditional banks increasingly compete for the same customers, which strategies are proving most resilient and what will it mean for the industry?

Long-term economic restructuring of supply chains, deepening geopolitical fragmentation and rapid advances in artificial intelligence are disrupting business models, and the global workforce. While businesses are under immense pressure to adapt, workers face job loss, de-skilling, and growing health pressures.
How can today’s workers remain productive members of society and avoid the risk of falling behind in a rapidly changing economy?
