Hosted by ecoDa and the EY Center for Board Matters, this one-hour session will delve into the top 10 geopolitical developments from the forthcoming EY 2026 Geostrategic Outlook report, offering board members and senior executives a forward-looking perspective on how geopolitics is reshaping the business landscape.
The session will be hosted by Jonathan Geldart, CEO of the UK IoD, and Famke Krumbmüller, EY EMEIA Geostrategy Leader, will present the key takeaways from the soon-to-be-released report. This webinar provides a unique opportunity for European board members and governance professionals to deepen their understanding of geopolitics as a driver of long-term value creation – not just a backdrop of uncertainty.
Jonathan Geldart will highlight how board members can proactively address geopolitical risks and opportunities. He will explore how boards can integrate geopolitical awareness into strategic decision-making, risk oversight, and long-term planning, ensuring that organizations are resilient and positioned to capitalize on emerging trends rather than merely reacting to uncertainty.
This exclusive session is designed to equip boards with the strategic mindset and actionable insights needed to thrive in a world where geopolitics increasingly intersects with business, regulation, and reputation.
