Geopolitics is rewriting the rules of global business – how should leaders and boards respond? 

The world has shifted. Has your boardroom?

The era of predictable globalisation is over. Trade is being weaponised. Supply chains are being redrawn along geopolitical fault lines. Energy, technology, and security have become instruments of statecraft, and every major business decision now carries a geopolitical dimension whether leaders recognise it or not. Boards that treat geopolitics as background noise risk being blindsided. Those that build genuine geopolitical literacy, embedding it into strategy, risk frameworks, and long-term positioning will lead.

This session brings together some of the sharpest minds navigating the intersection of global power and corporate strategy: from the shifting dynamics of US–Europe relations and the return of power politics, to the weaponisation of trade and what national security now means for Finnish business.

Join us to examine what geopolitical competence looks like at board level.
