In a period marked by growing uncertainty and an accelerating pace of change, profound transformations are becoming increasingly evident, reshaping the geopolitical, economic, technological, and social balance at a global level.

The evolving relationships among the world's major powers, the role of the United States in the emerging international order, ongoing conflicts and tensions in the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, the future of European security, economic and technological competition, industrial policies, artificial intelligence and its impact on work and productivity, demographic shifts, and rising inequalities are just some of the challenges redefining the environment in which businesses, institutions, and societies operate.
Understanding these dynamics is now essential to interpreting the present and preparing for the opportunities and risks of the year—and the years—ahead.

During this session, participants will have the opportunity to engage with a panel of distinguished experts to explore the key trends expected to shape 2027, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on global developments and their implications for the economy, businesses, and society.
The dialogue among different viewpoints will provide participants with a broader and more informed understanding of the transformations underway, helping identify the major drivers of change, emerging risks, and the opportunities to seize in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly evolving world.

Key topics will include:

• the main geopolitical scenarios and their implications for Europe and Italy
• the outlook for the global, European, and Italian economies in a rapidly changing environment
• the major challenges that will redefine competitiveness, technology, work, and society in 2027.
