Three transformative technologies: Artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, and advanced sensors are expected to profoundly reshape sectors and societies worldwide over the next five years. Healthcare will become increasingly personalized, with the potential to create digital twins of individual bodies, enabling treatments precisely tailored to specific conditions. And for the first time in history, a Fortune 500 company might even be led by an AI executive.

Experts predict global solar energy capacity to double from 220 gigawatts in 2024 to 450 gigawatts in 2025 – more than the total installed power capacity of Germany and Spain combined. Investment in nature-based solutions will become a part of comprehensive climate strategies, help reduce climate-related losses.
