On September 22, 2025 in New York, during the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week NYC, The Digital Economist convened global leaders, innovators, and changemakers committed to moving beyond business as usual. Through high-level plenaries, a strategic executive workshop, and the integration of art and imagination, we showcased how AI, climate innovation, and sustainable finance can drive real systemic resilience—transforming dialogue into a movement for systemic resilience. This work continues. Our next chapter unfolds in Washington, D.C. at The World Bank and International Monetary Fund 2025 Annual Meetings, where the conversation advances into action at the intersection of global finance, technology, and climate resilience. We look forward to continuing this journey with the international development community.

Geopolitics has become a core business issue, with corporate affairs teams stepping into a more strategic role to help senior leaders anticipate and navigate the complexity. In a new article, “Upgrading Corporate Affairs for a New Geopolitical Era,” McKinsey & Company's Ziad Haider and Robin Nuttall explain how leading companies are rethinking their approach to geopolitics across five dimensions: 1. Rigorously assessing exposure to geopolitical trends, quantifying the value at stake, and identifying critical stakeholders. 2. Tailoring messages, leading with insights, and choosing the right tone, volume, and voices. 3. Engaging proactively with governments, regulators, and third parties before crises arise and calibrating visibility. 4. Embedding corporate affairs into business units, formalizing metrics, and coordinating across functions. 5. Augmenting geopolitics expertise and analytics, and adopting AI tools to scale insight and execution. Despite this proactive approach by top organizations, McKinsey's research, including a survey of nearly 900 executives and interviews with corporate-affairs leaders across sectors, suggests many others are still underinvesting in this critical domain.

How can we navigate changing global economic power dynamics? What does the future of innovation look like, and which regions are poised to lead the way? At the #PrimaveraGlobalInvestmentConference 2025, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, a renowned economist and professor at Columbia University, spoke with our Chairman, Founder, and CEO, Fred Hu, offering an optimistic look at the world’s shifting power dynamics and future potential. Prof. Sachs sees the Greater Bay Area as the world’s most dynamic economic hub, with tremendous potential in science, innovation, production, and finance. Prof. Sachs further emphasized the need for collaborative efforts across nations to address global challenges, moving beyond a zero-sum mentality. #PrimaveraCapital #InvestingWhereTheFutureIs

The global economy is being transformed. According to recent WEF / global reports: technology (AI, big data, IoT) is opening huge opportunities but also exposing serious risks especially for developing countries. Here’s the thing: this transformation demands more than policy alone. It requires an understanding of a broader justice system beyond the judiciary , one that positions justice as a foundational principle in how we build capacity, use technology, design systems and grow together.

The Power of Crisis with Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, challenged directors to think differently about how global instability shapes board strategy.   From geopolitical tension to technological acceleration, Bremmer explored how these forces are reshaping the global economy and testing corporate resilience.   #NACDSummit #BoardLeadership #Geopolitics #RiskOversight

🌐 Rethinking Governance in the Age of Complexity The 21st century is not merely another chapter in human history—it is an inflection point. For the first time, humanity faces global challenges that transcend borders, ideologies, and traditional governance models. Climate instability. Artificial intelligence. Economic polarization. Cultural fragmentation. Each crisis exposes a deeper truth: our governance systems were built for a world that no longer exists. Omniism emerges from this realization. It is not a new “-ism” to compete with others—it is a meta-framework designed to integrate what works across all systems, and evolve as humanity evolves. Rather than viewing capitalism and socialism as opposites, Omniism asks: How might we balance innovation with inclusion? Rather than choosing between democracy and technocracy, it asks: How might we design governance that is both participatory and intelligent? And rather than seeing ecology and economy in conflict, it invites us to imagine: What if our planetary systems were treated as living partners in governance? Omniism envisions governance as a living, adaptive ecosystem—guided by balance, feedback, and continual learning. It is a framework for the post-ideological era, where cooperation, not competition, defines civilization’s next leap. We stand at the threshold of System 2.0 for humanity—a chance to build structures worthy of our intelligence, compassion, and interdependence. Join the dialogue. Help shape the architecture of the future. #Omniism #FutureGovernance #SystemThinking #RegenerativeEconomy #AIandSociety #Sustainability #GlobalCooperation #AtoArkorful #HumanFlourishing #GovernanceInnovation
