The global economy has reached a tectonic shift. For decades, we lived in a paradigm of "hyper-globalization," where the primary criterion was efficiency: produce where it is cheapest, sell where there is demand. However, the events of recent years—from the pandemic to the acute geopolitical crises in Ukraine and around the Strait of Hormuz—have proven that efficiency is worthless without security.
Today, we are witnessing not the end of globalization as a process, but a radical overhaul of its operating system.
The 26th Global Business Week, which will take place in Davos from 9 to 17 July 2026, will be opened with a symbolic and deeply meaningful address by Christina Batruch, daughter of Bohdan Hawrylyshyn — the renowned Ukrainian economist, visionary, public figure, co-founder and first director of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
This opening moment carries special historical significance. On 19 October 2026, the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bohdan Dmytrovych Hawrylyshyn — an outstanding Ukrainian whose life and work made a profound contribution to Ukraine’s state-building, education, economics, public administration, international relations and civil society.
“Ukraine has always existed for me, at least in my thoughts. Wherever I was, whatever I did, I always thought about what useful thing could be done for Ukraine.”
— Bohdan Hawrylyshyn
