Forecasting the world in 2026
About the event
In 2025, we witnessed a turbulent mix of disruption and transition. A dramatic shift in US leadership following the presidential election, reshaping the parameters of foreign policy. Ongoing conflicts, from Ukraine to the Middle East, continue to test international institutions. And Europe is embracing a more interventionist stance, with industrial policy moving to the forefront.
These developments, among others, have set the stage for a pivotal 2026. This panel of FT experts will discuss their predictions for the year ahead and identify the key trends impacting politics, business, and global power. Will the year bring fresh industrial and investment momentum, or a drag on productivity and innovation? Is globalisation in retreat, or evolving into a new phase of strategic autonomy? And is AI on the verge of becoming essential for business survival?
