Member of the CNBW Advisory Board
"In 2025, opportunities lie in leveraging AI advancements for innovation across industries, Europe’s steady economic growth for sustainable development, and tapping into the global talent pool, particularly China's record number of graduates. However, significant challenges include escalating US-China tensions disrupting global trade, labour market pressures from slowing growth in China and regional disparities in Europe, and ethical dilemmas around unregulated AI development. Capitalising on these opportunities while addressing these challenges will require strategic investments, collaboration, and a focus on governance. The balance between competition and cooperation in technology and trade will define global progress in 2025. Resilience and adaptability will be key for nations, businesses and individuals."
