IE Talk “The World on Edge: 2025’s Geopolitical Flashpoints and What Comes Next”
27 May, 2025 @ 17:30 - 20:30
The world isn’t facing isolated crises anymore—we’re entering a new strategic era marked by durable disorder. How can leaders prepare when geopolitics shapes everything from trade routes to technology?
Join us for an exclusive IE University Talk in The Hague that dives deep into 2025’s geopolitical flashpoints. Led by Bjorn Beam, former CIA officer and geopolitical advisor to NATO countries, this session is designed for professionals navigating complexity across business and governance.
Key insights include:
- How U.S. tariffs and European strategic shifts are redrawing global alliances
- China’s pressure on Taiwan—and its impact on global risk exposure

- Tools for building strategic resilience in an unpredictable world
