How can we deploy innovation at scale and responsibly?

AI is reshaping how industries operate, compete and create value, and is projected to add over $15 trillion to global GDP by 2030. Nearly 90% of businesses across all sectors expect AI and other technologies to transform their businesses in the short-term, including through productivity gains. Realizing this potential will require not only responsible deployment and governance but also sustained investment in frontier technologies ranging from biotechnology and quantum to space and semiconductors and sensors. Meanwhile, the need to deliver on the energy transition is greater than ever, and the challenge is no longer ambition but execution. Scaling new technologies, upgrading grids, and improving access to innovation, especially in emerging markets, are central to achieving the breakthroughs needed to deliver on the energy needs of tomorrow.
