GUBERNA Economic Forum

Since our Economic Forum 2021, the world has dramatically changed: the war in Ukraine, soaring energy prices and double-digit inflation rates, have exposed a range of new fragilities. These remind us how important it is to preserve autonomy and build a robust economy in a world where global effects of climate change are accelerating. If Europe has taken the leadership in sustainability, other areas like technological innovation remain weak, hindering competitiveness and long-term resilience. Because technology is now everywhere, rising disruptive trends will affect any kind of business, whatever it’s sector or size. 

Long-term value creation is therefore strongly intertwined with the capacity to innovate, and innovation starts in the boardroom: it’s a critical business imperative requiring focus to adequately deploy financial, technological, human and natural resources. 

Should boards become more tech-savvy? What do they need to better understand and manage the risks but also the opportunities of quantum computing, enhanced connectivity, artificial intelligence or next-generation materials? 

To answer these questions and many others, we kindly invite you to join us on 6 December 2022 for the GUBERNA Economic Forum.
