Shanghai is set to host the 2025 Bund Summit from October 23-25, where global leaders will tackle the era’s biggest challenges under the theme ‘Navigating Global Transformation: New Order, New Tech’. Co-organized by the China Finance 40 Forum and Tsinghua University, this high-stakes gathering aims to redefine how the world approaches economy, finance, and innovation. 🚀
With 21 roundtable dialogues and 11 closed-door meetings, the summit will dive into topics like AI governance, cross-border finance, and sustainable development. Over 120 speakers—including policymakers, academics, and CEOs from both developed and emerging markets—will clash (and collaborate!) over ideas to bridge global divides. Think of it as the ‘Coachella of geopolitics’—but with fewer flower crowns and more flowcharts. 📊
Tech takes center stage this year, with discussions structured around a full ‘technology-application-impact-governance’ cycle. Translation: How do we harness breakthroughs like quantum computing without accidentally creating Skynet? 🤖 The event underscores China’s push to be a ‘constructive force’ in global governance, fostering trust between nations at a time when TikTok trends move faster than treaties. 🌍
