Geopolitics of the Backlash by Nils PEDERSEN - Tricontinental Dialogue Keynote | ESSEC Conference

Geopolitics of the Backlash: How Business Navigates Disruptions and Power Plays — Five Years into the 2030 Agenda. Keynote Speaker: Nils PEDERSEN, Executive Director – UN Global Compact Network France The Tricontinental Dialogue explores how businesses can navigate the growing US–China rivalry in a fragmented world. Led by ESSEC’s Institute for Geopolitics & Business, the initiative connects leaders across Europe, Africa, and Asia to share insights on supply chains, technology, and global strategy. With conferences on our 3 campuses, it offers a unique, forward-looking perspective on the future of business in an era of geopolitical competition." Created in 2024 by ESSEC, the Institute for Geopolitics & Business examines how geopolitical shocks reshape companies’ economic models. Based across ESSEC Business School’s campuses in France, Morocco, and Singapore, it brings a tri-continental perspective to what drives corporate competitiveness in the post-globalization era: vigilance, resilience, independence. It feeds into ESSEC’s degree programs, executive education, and research to foster a new generation of geopolitics-proof business leaders capable of steering and growing companies amid an increasingly brutalized world. Rooted in ESSEC’s academic excellence, the Institute draws on 4 flagship centers: - the IRENE Center for Negotiation & Mediation, - the Center for Geopolitics, Defense & Leadership, - the Center for European Law & Economics, and - the Chair Business & Industry in Africa.
