Convening business leaders and policymakers to discuss long-term issues shaping the global economic and investment landscape

GIC Insights 2024

Invested in a Global Future

In a world where uncertainty has become the only constant, long-term partnerships remain critical to managing heightened geoeconomic fragmentation, challenging markets and the new frontiers presented by the climate transition and technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Despite persistent global challenges, opportunities abound for those agile enough to adapt.

At GIC Insights 2024, we explore the key drivers behind the changing environment that investors, businesses, and policymakers must contend with and feature the leaders navigating and shaping these new horizons. Through these conversations, we aim to uncover fresh perspectives and reaffirm that amidst profound change, staying invested in a global future still holds promise.
