The Open Dialogue “The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth” kicks off the January Expert Dialogues

We are now in an age of profound global transformation, where traditional development models, economic frameworks, and international cooperation patterns no longer work as they once did. Advances in technology, demographic shifts, and evolving geoeconomic dynamics are redefining the shape of our shared future.


- Why does mastery of standards, platforms, and critical supply chains now outweigh mere membership in global institutions?

- Why is demography evolving from a mere backdrop into a primary limiter of progress?

- How is the contemporary economy moving beyond labour automation toward the automation of institutions?

- How are business models in financial institutions evolving?

- How is the technological shift reshaping labour markets — and thus individual life trajectories?
