Welcome to the first BCG Leaders Circle on Geopolitics & Global Trade
As economies respond to increasingly rapid geopolitical and macroeconomic change - including war, trade tensions and climate change pressures - new factors of competitiveness emerge. What might the world - and the map of global trade flows - look like in 2032? What potential scenarios and implications do international businesses face?
Join a discussion with leaders on strategies for navigating current uncertainties and complexities, and accelerating geopolitical scenario planning to improve short-term performance and long-term resilience. This event is envisioned as an off-the-record platform where a select group of executives from multinational businesses, international organizations, and academic experts can exchange ideas and discuss critical geopolitical dynamics shaping today’s world.
