What does the renegotiation of the global order mean for your business, your supply chains, and your long-term strategy?

As the geopolitical landscape is being fundamentally reshaped, the assumptions that have guided business for decades are no longer reliable. Markets are shifting, alliances are evolving, and new rules for trade, technology, security, and artificial intelligence are emerging. Drawing on first-hand experience from the highest levels of international diplomacy and global negotiations, Annalena Baerbock provides an insider’s perspective on the forces redefining the world economy. She translates geopolitical complexity into strategic clarity, helping business leaders understand not only what is changing, but why it matters for their organizations. Rather than offering predictions, she equips executives with a practical framework for making sound strategic decisions in an era of persistent uncertainty, enabling them to navigate disruption, identify opportunities, and lead with confidence when the rules of the game continue to evolve.

How the emerging global framework for artificial intelligence will reshape business, governance, and competitive advantage.

Artificial intelligence is no longer advancing faster than regulation. It is becoming one of the defining geopolitical and economic issues of our time. The decisions being made today by governments and international institutions will shape the future of innovation, competition, and corporate responsibility for decades to come. Drawing on her leadership in bringing together all 193 UN Member States to advance international dialogue on AI governance and establishing the first UN scientific panel on AI , Annalena Baerbock offers a unique insider perspective on how the global rules for artificial intelligence are taking shape, and what they mean for business leaders. She explains the regulatory, political, and strategic forces that will influence every industry, helping executives anticipate change rather than react to it. Beyond compliance, she explores how responsible AI governance can become a source of resilience, trust, and long-term competitive advantage.

How leaders make high-stakes decisions when time is short, information is incomplete, and the consequences are far-reaching.

The greatest leadership challenges rarely unfold under ideal conditions. They emerge in moments of crisis, when geopolitical conflict, economic disruption, energy insecurity, or difficult negotiations force leaders to act before all the facts are known. Drawing on first-hand experience from international crisis diplomacy and negotiations at the highest level, Annalena Baerbock offers a rare insider perspective on how critical decisions are made when the stakes are exceptionally high. She takes audiences behind the closed doors where governments respond to war, energy shocks, and rapidly changing global realities, revealing not the politics, but the leadership principles that determine effective action. The keynote explores how leaders can remain clear-headed under pressure, balance competing priorities, build trust in uncertain environments, and make decisions despite ambiguity. Rather than recounting political events, it distills transferable lessons for executives leading organizations through volatility and transformation.

What it takes to lead where there is no blueprint, and where every decision sets a precedent.

Being the first is never just about breaking barriers. It means leading under heightened expectations, navigating constant scrutiny, and making decisions that shape the path for those who follow. As Germany’s first female Foreign Minister and only the fifth woman in the history of the United Nations to serve as President of the UN General Assembly, Annalena Baerbock reflects on leadership in environments where tradition, power, and global responsibility converge. Her experiences offer a compelling perspective on resilience, credibility, and influence in institutions where change is often slow, but leadership matters profoundly. The result is a powerful conversation about authentic leadership, courage, and responsibility, relevant to anyone who has ever had to lead through change, uncertainty, or transformation.
