Top 10 Geopolitical Risks for Business in 2026
Geopolitical risks no longer operate in isolation but as a cycle. State-led industrial competition and financial strain feed social fracture and radical politics. Those tensions then drive further coercion, regulatory pressure and grey-zone confrontation. Each force accelerates the next. This report is designed to help leaders navigate that loop with intent rather than react to it under pressure
The Revenge of Geopolitics
Globalization is in retreat, old conflicts and rivalries are re-emerging and what we are experiencing today is a product of an anarchic global system where state and non-state actors collaborate and compete based on their own self-interests rather than for any collective good. This is the revenge of geopolitics.
AI is Creating a New Balance of Power
Artificial intelligence is developing as the international system becomes more competitive, fragmented and multipolar. This article examines how governments are shaping AI through investment, regulation, export controls and industrial policy, while AI changes economic power, security and corporate competitiveness. It explains why sustainable advantage increasingly depends on access to compute, energy, infrastructure, talent, capital and trusted partnerships, and helps executives assess the geopolitical dependencies affecting their technology strategy, investment decisions and organisational resilience.
