OVERVIEW

In a world that is growing more complex and uncertain, business and government leaders must navigate a volatile geopolitical landscape defined by political polarization, escalating trade tensions, global crises, climate challenges, and eroding public trust in institutions. 

At the same time, emerging technologies are reshaping geoeconomic and geopolitical dynamics, transforming how organizations and governments operate on a global scale. 

To make sound, forward-looking decisions, leaders must effectively analyze geopolitical trends and risks. Yet, many lack the time and expertise to stay ahead of rapid global shifts. 

The IE SPEGA Global Policy Center’s ‘Geopolitics and Global Risks’ Executive Education Program empowers participants to navigate geopolitical disruptions, strengthen strategic foresight, manage risks, and make more informed decisions in an increasingly unpredictable world.
