An Increasingly Fragile World: Global Challenges and European Responses
3 February 2026 – 18:15 CET
ESCP Turin

How can we read an increasingly fragile world, marked by conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and profound transformations in the global economy? What interpretative tools are needed today by those who make decisions, lead organizations, or seek to understand the present with greater clarity?

These questions are addressed in the event “An Increasingly Fragile World: Global Challenges and European Responses.”

On February 3 at 6:15 p.m., join the discussion taking place at ESCP Business School’s Turin Campus.

The Conference

The event will offer an authoritative analysis of the main economic and geopolitical trends shaping the post-global era: a transitional phase in which traditional models of globalization are giving way to new balances, new strategic priorities, and unprecedented forms of international cooperation and competition.

The discussion will address key issues for today’s global landscape and for policy and business decision-making, including:

• Ongoing conflicts and competition among major powers,

• The evolution of global trade and value chains,

• The growing role of industrial policies and defense spending,

• The challenges of energy and food security,

• The impact of climate change and ongoing transitions.

Drawing on the contents of the 4th Annual Report on the Post-Global World by the Einaudi Center—coordinated by Mario Deaglio and supported by Intesa Sanpaolo—the event will not offer ready-made answers, but rather concrete analytical tools to navigate a complex and rapidly evolving scenario.

It will provide a high-level forum for discussion, with particular attention to the role of Europe, which is now called upon to redefine its strategic autonomy and its economic and political positioning.

The event, held entirely in English, is aimed at managers, public decision-makers, academics, and professionals interested in understanding the present in order to face the future with greater awareness.
