Agenda focus

Global investment is entering an era of profound transformation. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, digitalization and green technologies are emerging as new drivers of global investment growth. While the new technological revolution may widen inequalities and development gaps, it also creates leapfrogging opportunities and deeper integration into higher-value segments of global value chains.

Against this backdrop, the structure and distribution of global investment are undergoing significant change. Competition for investment in strategic industries continues to intensify, global supply chains and production networks are undergoing new adjustments, and cross-border investment decisions increasingly require balancing efficiency, supply-chain resilience, regulatory and environmental risks, technological capability, market access and long-term strategic stability.

How different economies enhance their attractiveness through industrial policies, innovation capabilities and regulatory frameworks will become a key factor shaping future growth patterns.
