How can we build prosperity amid shifting geo-economic and industrial realities?

The map of global economic activity is being redrawn. Trade and industrial policy are increasingly shaping where technologies scale, where investment flows and how supply chains are configured. Governments are taking a more active role in directing capital, setting standards and protecting critical industries. The result is a more contested economic landscape in which the rules of engagement are shifting faster than many institutions can adapt. For leaders at every stage of development, the challenge is to strengthen domestic capabilities while preserving openness and cooperation essential to long-term prosperity.
