From $100 Oil to Extreme Heat: Can Technology Reduce Energy Vulnerability?
Record-breaking heat across Europe is placing growing pressure on critical infrastructure. At the same time, oil prices climbed above $100 per barrel earlier this year as geopolitical tensions once again exposed vulnerabilities in global energy markets. These are not isolated crises, but different sides of the same coin. And prompts the question, how can we build energy systems that remain reliable in an increasingly volatile world? A new generation of technologies is beginning to change that equation. This session explores how new technologies like direct lithium extraction and everything-to-grid energy are changing how energy is produced, managed and consumed. This is the full audio from a studio discussion recorded on 9 July, 2026. Speakers: Volker Sick, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan Anna Tunkel, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Sustainable Impact LLC Akshay Joshi, Head of the Centre for Cybersecurity, Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum Check out all our podcasts on wef.ch/podcasts: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@wef/podcasts Radio Davos - subscribe: https://pod.link/1504682164 Meet the Leader - subscribe: https://pod.link/1534915560 Agenda Dialogues - subscribe: https://pod.link/1574956552

AMNC26: Renminbi and the World
More than $150 trillion moves across borders each year through the global financial system, the vast majority of it still denominated in dollars. As geopolitical tensions fragment trade relationships and middle powers look to diversify their financial exposure, alternative currencies are gaining quiet traction, such as the recent renewal of a 200-billion-yuan swap line between the Bank of Canada and the People's Bank of China. How might a growing willingness among these economies to transact in alternative currencies reshape the structure, stability and sovereignty of the international financial system? Speakers: Diana Choyleva, Founder and Chief Economist, Enodo Economics, Senior Fellow, Asia Society Policy Institute Robin Harding, Asia Editor, The Financial Times Zongyuan Zoe Liu, Senior Fellow, China Studies, Council on Foreign Relations Ashor Nick Sarupen, Deputy Minister of Finance, Ministry of Finance of South Africa Zhu Ning, Deputy Dean and Professor of Finance, Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance This is the full audio from a session at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2026 in Dalian, China on 23-25 June, 2026.

AMNC26: Resisting Autarky
Tariffs, export controls and mechanisms such as investment screening have become central instruments of economic management. This is pushing strategic players to leverage their production of critical resources and the concentration of critical supply chain inputs. In an increasingly fractured economy, what is the right balance between protecting national interests while continuing to seek economic collaboration?

Growth Map Rewritten
Global foreign direct investment rebounded by 14% to $1.6 trillion in 2025, yet the gains remained heavily concentrated in advanced economies, widening the gap with the emerging markets expected to drive the majority of growth in the coming decades. Young populations, rapid digital adoption and expanding consumer bases give emerging economies significant structural advantages, but capital, technology and industrial capacity continue to flow elsewhere. As competitiveness gaps widen, what is separating the front-runners from the laggards, and where will the next engines of growth emerge?
