GEOPOLITICS,
GLOBALIZATION & TRADE
Asia faces a critical turning point as protectionism rises and the global order shifts. We explore how regional economies, especially Vietnam, are adapting through supply chain recalibration, trade diversification, and strategic realignment. Asia is positioning itself to either lead a new era of open regionalism or pivot toward strategic self-reliance amid renewed geopolitical tensions.

Taking center stage, the private sector embraces bold strategies and actions to future-proof Vietnam’s business landscape, ensuring sustainable growth and securing long-term global competitiveness.

The New Digital Divide: AI’s Haves and Have-Nots
AI could be the most transformative technology in history. What if only a fraction of humanity enjoyed its benefits? Currently, only 16 of the world’s 195 countries host data centers powerful enough to drive the most complex AI systems. Many simply can’t underwrite the cost. Others don’t have the necessary resources or supporting infrastructure. This imbalance presents many challenges, some more obvious than others.
