After successful editions in London, Glasgow, Istanbul, and the Maldives, the forum returns to focus on the challenges and opportunities shaping education in the digital age.

How the World Economy Could Look in 2050: Asia Takes the Lead

By 2050, the economic map of the world may look very different from what we know today.

According to long-term projections by Goldman Sachs, the centre of gravity of global GDP is expected to shift decisively away from today’s developed markets and towards emerging Asia.

The Big Picture: Who Owns Global GDP in 2050?

In 2050 (in constant 2021 USD), global GDP is projected to total about $227.9 trillion. Here’s how that pie is expected to be divided:

• Asia (excluding developed markets): $90.6 trillion – 40%
• Developed Markets (DM): $82.9 trillion – 36%
• Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa (CEEMEA): $38.3 trillion – 17%
• Latin America: $16.0 trillion – 7%

The headline shift is clear:

Emerging Asia is projected to become the largest regional contributor to world GDP, with 40% of the total, edging ahead of traditional Developed Markets at 36%.

To see how dramatic this is, compare it with the year 2000. At that time, developed economies (North America, Western Europe, Japan, etc.) accounted for more than 77% of global GDP. By 2050, their share is expected to fall to just over a third.

Asia’s Rise: Beyond the “China Story”

When people think about Asia’s economic success, they often focus on China – and for good reason. But the 2050 picture is not just about China.

GLOBAL EDUCATION FORUM 2026 will be held in Davos

Global Education Forum 2026 will take place in Davos, Switzerland, as one of the key educational events within Global Business Week 2026. It will bring together school owners, founders of educational networks, university leaders, EdTech innovators, investors, franchise developers, education entrepreneurs, teachers, methodologists and policymakers who understand one simple truth: the future of education cannot wait for instructions from ministries. It must be created now.

The world is changing faster than most formal education systems can reform. Artificial intelligence is transforming intellectual work. Children are growing up in a digital, global, entrepreneurial and unstable world. Parents demand better outcomes. Employers seek creativity, adaptability, leadership and problem-solving skills. At the same time, many schools are still built on industrial-era models: standardised lessons, slow curriculum reform, outdated assessment methods and limited exposure to entrepreneurship, technology and global thinking.

Secret of German Economy

The Core of Germany's Economy

Germany is often described through the language of engineering, exports, and industrial discipline. But beneath those familiar labels lies something even more distinctive: a deeply rooted culture of family business. In Germany, family firms are not a niche or a romantic leftover from an earlier era. They are the core of the economy.

Depending on the definition used, family-owned or family-controlled companies account for roughly 86–90 percent of all German businesses. They employ about 54 percent of the national workforce, and under a broader “family-controlled” definition they account for around 58 percent of jobs subject to social-security contributions. In revenue terms, they generate about 43–46 percent of total business turnover.

Women's Diplomacy: World Woman Forum will be held in Davos, 9-12 July 2026

WORLD WOMAN FORUM 2026 will take place in the unique environment of the Davos Congress Centre in Switzerland, a venue globally recognised as the home of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting and one of the world’s symbolic spaces for international dialogue, strategic thinking and the future of business and society, according to the Davos Congress Centre.

The Forum is designed as an international platform dedicated to women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, education, family business, social impact and global cooperation. It will bring together women leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, executives, educators, public figures and changemakers from different countries to exchange ideas, build partnerships and strengthen the role of women in the global economy.
