    A&O Shearman partners join Berlin Global Dialogue line-up for third consecutive year

    Wolf Bussian, managing partner for Germany at A&O Shearman, added: “In a multipolar world, reliability is everything: power is shifting, responsibility is growing, and technology, trade, and security are inseparable. Those who build smart partnerships will create sustainable prosperity.

    “Multipolarity isn’t a risk in itself, but a mandate to shape outcomes—de-risking, not decoupling; rules, and not bloc-building is how we will secure stability and growth.”

    BGD: bringing decision-makers together to effect change

    BGD brings together established leaders and the next generation of decision-makers to promote dialogue in four key areas shaping the future of the global economy:

    • Geopolitical shifts
    • Climate change
    • Technological advances
    • Global inequality

    With a strong focus on the realities of a multipolar world—from supply chain resilience and defense innovation to digital governance and the evolving role of middle powers—BGD equips enterprises, investors and policymakers with the insights needed to navigate an era defined by uncertainty and reinvention.
