In today’s multipolar world, diverse actors are increasingly claiming economic, political, and military power. At the same time, technological advances are redefining the very concept of power, further changing the role of business in geopolitical competition.

These power shifts also expand our collective responsibility to shape a stable and prosperous global order. We are in the process of creating new rules of engagement for a multipolar world – rules that will impact us for decades to come. How can both established players and rising powers avoid a race to the bottom, and instead drive opportunity, equity, and prosperity for all?

Under the theme “Shifting Power, Shaping Prosperity”, this year’s Berlin Global Dialogue will explore how multipolarity can act as catalyst for global growth and stability.  

BGD 2025 will provide a platform for leaders from business, government, and academia to discover joint 
opportunities, forge new partnerships, and create confidence in a multipolar world.
