Global Trade & Education: Competing in a Human-Centered AI World
AI is reshaping global trade flows, workforce readiness, and national competitiveness. Economic influence is no longer defined solely by capital or natural resources—but by access to talent, compute, data, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. As nations adapt to shifting supply chains and AI-driven productivity, education systems and trade policies are becoming strategic levers for long-term innovation leadership. This track brings together global leaders from governments, institutions, and innovation ecosystems to examine how regions are building founder pipelines, attracting investment, and scaling innovation in an AI-powered economy. From the impact of international trade dynamics on AI development to preparing the next generation of talent in the age of intelligent systems, the focus is on practical strategies and cross-border collaboration. In a human-centered, AI-powered world, global competitiveness depends on aligning trade, education, and entrepreneurship to expand opportunity while preserving human creativity and leadership.
