​Shift Happens

​The world has fundamentally changed. The convergence of generative AI, profound geopolitical shifts, and a cultural shift impacting proximity and community, has rendered our old playbooks obsolete. The methods we once relied on to build companies, develop talent, raise capital, and create thriving innovation economies are no longer fit for purpose.

​For ecosystem builders—whether you are in government, finance, academia, or a fast-growing company—continuing with business as usual is a strategy for obsolescence. We are all grappling with the same profound questions:

• ​How do you build and scale a company when AI can help build a unicorn with a handful of employees?

• ​How do you foster talent and build the next generation of leaders when entry-level roles are being automated?

• ​How do you invest when market dynamics and valuations are being rewritten in real-time?

• ​How do you build a sense of community and place when teams are distributed and remote?

​The Global Ecosystem Summit is a gathering for those who recognize that we can't sleepwalk through this moment. It’s a forum to move beyond acknowledging the shifts and start collectively building the new strategies that will define the future.

​We are bringing together a diverse group of global leaders, disruptive founders, and forward-thinking investors to share on-the-ground perspectives of what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next. Through provocative keynotes, candid mainstage conversations, and interactive breakout sessions, we will wrestle with these challenges together.

​Our goal is not just to talk, but to build. By the end of our time together, we will have co-created a new set of principles for ecosystem builders—a new playbook to help us all navigate this changed world and build the resilient, innovative, and inclusive communities of tomorrow.

​Join us to be part of the conversation that writes the next chapter.
