Description

Global Business Outlook 2027

What's Next for the Global Economy?

What will drive economic growth in 2027? Where will investors find opportunities in an increasingly fragmented global economy? And how fundamentally will artificial intelligence change the way businesses operate and compete?

At a time when traditional economic assumptions are being challenged, understanding the interplay between geopolitics, financial markets, and technological innovation has never been more important.

Global Business Outlook 2027 brings together three distinguished experts offering different yet complementary perspectives on the forces shaping the global economy.

From the outlook for the U.S. and European economies to the future of global investment and the transformative potential of industrial AI, our speakers will examine the developments that matter most to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors.

We are delighted to welcome back Ulrike Malmendier, Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley, Axel Merk, President and Chief Investment Officer of Merk Investments and Achim Voermanek, Global Vice President Industry AI at SAP, bringing a perspective on how artificial intelligence is moving beyond experimentation to reshape industries, productivity, and business models.

The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Kai Westerwelle, Chairman of GABA.

Expect an engaging exchange of ideas, candid assessments, and fresh perspectives on the economic and technological developments that will shape 2027.

Join us for an evening that goes beyond economic forecasts to explore what the year ahead could mean for your business, your investments, and the future of transatlantic commerce.
