2025 Geopolitical Risks and How to Survive Them

Highlights

Between the uncertain States of America, red line geopolitics, global trade war, rising political violence and digital concentration risks, companies face a mind-boggling number of organisational challenges which are often difficult to grasp in time and in their completeness. Geopolitical risk is already a buzzword of the upcoming year and many companies develop this risk function in their organisations. Will it be able to protect companies from the external shocks and pressures that 2025 bears for us?

Control Risks’ experts Christopher Gray, Tobias Wellner and Nabi Abdullaev supported dozens our clients in their darkest hours over the past several years, saw quite a few success stories of companies mitigating geopolitical risks but also much more stories of companies’ geopolitical risk functions failing the task. What goes wrong? How to make the geopolitical risk function work?

Please join Tobias, Christopher and Nabi for an online discussion of how some companies manage to build successful geopolitical risk function and what is needed to achieve this success.
