Event Details

We are delighted to invite you to a special end-of-year EICN braai at which we will bring to life The Economist's annual publication, The World Ahead 2025!


The World Ahead 2025 will build on more than three decades of publishing success and will be the 39th edition of our future-gazing annual. After an unprecedented year of elections, new leaders around the world who have promised change will be expected to deliver in 2025. The world will also be coming to terms with the outcome of America's elections in November and the implications for global security, trade and climate policy.


New alliances are forming and old ones are fraying in an increasingly tense and dangerous world. But the adoption of green tech continues to outpace the most optimistic forecasts, even as concerns grow over artificial intelligence, and its voracious appetite for chips, energy, water and data.


The World Ahead 2025 will consider these and other trends, and their implications for geopolitics, business and culture in the year to come. There will be predictions from a panel of "superforecasters" as well as a wide range of guest contributors who provide a distinctive, engaging and authoritative perspective on the trends and events to watch.


A special section - "Wild Cards" - will consider the consequences of ten low-probability, high-impact scenarios possible in 2025, from geopolitics to space weather.


The World Ahead offers insight that is not available elsewhere, and will be full of new ideas and predictions that you should not miss.
