Abstract:
Global Megatrends for the Next DecadeThis session focused on a presentation by Vivek Vaidya from Frost & Sullivan, who shared insights from their latest research on global megatrends shaping the next decade. The discussion covered the definition and criteria for identifying megatrends, the methodology used to select the top 10 trends, and a brief overview of each, with a deep dive into three key trends: the shift to a multipolar world and deglobalization, the rise of algorithm-driven governance using AI and data analytics, and the emergence of new Asian multinationals from China, India, and Southeast Asia. The session also highlighted the implications of these trends for businesses, including the need for supply chain resilience, organizational restructuring, and localized innovation, and concluded with an open invitation for further discussion and questions from council members.
