Review

A week full of intensive discussions, valuable insights and practical strategies. Our participants were not only equipped with first-class knowledge, but also became part of an exclusive network.

Our Academy Director Manuel P. Nappo shares his highlights from the intensive week:

• Sunday: The NZZ Academy celebrates its premiere! At the fireside chat, I have the honour of discussing the geopolitical challenges of our time with Ambassador Jacques Pitteloud.

• Monday: Whether we have a bipolar or multilateral world order, one thing is certain: we can only shape the future together. Today, strategic foresight is more important than ever.

• Tuesday: Technology has long since become more than just a tool – it has become a geopolitical question of power. Mastering cyber security can be used as a real competitive advantage.

• Wednesday: Energy is the key to economic and geopolitical stability. But resilience does not come about by itself – it requires consistent practice: practice, practice, practice.

• Thursday: In a world in upheaval, the crucial question is: Who do we trust? The old economic order is crumbling, the new one has not yet been formed.

• Friday: A prosperous future is not a fixed destination – it is a dynamic process. With well-thought-out scenarios, we can actively shape it.
