About the summit
The Paris Resilience Summit is a curated executive gathering in Paris — bringing together business leaders, policymakers, academics, and resilience practitioners to address the strategic risks organisations can no longer afford to ignore.
Organised by the Global Council for Business Resilience (GCBR), the Summit focuses on interconnected challenges across geopolitics, economics, technology, infrastructure, and society. These are the conversations that are often held separately — but must now be solved together.
The conversations we avoid. The solutions we need.

Six domains of disruption
Geopolitical, economic, social, technological, climate, and operational forces reshaping business — explored through one integrated executive programme.
Resilience is not a single function. It is how organisations perform across the environments that now define competitive survival.
Geopolitical
Fragmenting alliances, contested norms, resource nationalism, and geoeconomic rivalry — and what they mean for strategy, sourcing, and institutional trust.
Economic & Financial
Growth under uncertainty, capital allocation, risk financing, insurance gaps, and the economics of adaptation — when markets and models no longer hold.
Summit themes
Social & Organisational
Workforce resilience, leadership under pressure, declining trust, social cohesion, and the human systems that determine whether organisations endure.
Technological & Digital
Digital sovereignty, AI, cyber risk, agentic autonomy, and the speed of innovation: the guardrails leaders need before scale outpaces control.
Climate & Environmental
Physical climate risk, transition pathways, adaptation investment, and the environmental pressures reshaping supply chains, insurance, and long-term strategy.
Infrastructure & Supply Chain
Critical infrastructure, end-to-end supply visibility, third-party exposure, SME fragility, and the operational systems where disruption becomes material fast.
10 issues shaping our shared future
