The world is changing fast. Climate change does not relent and environmental issues are pressing. Major conventional and destructive war that some had thought to be of the past is again shaping the world. New technologies emerge. Notably, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Information Science are creating a completely new ecosystem. Therefore, the global political and international order is in an accelerating phase of transition. As a result, these evolutions redesign security, be it traditional security, cybersecurity, national or international security. Thus, uncertainty abounds. Changes impact private and public actors, from states and governments to business, NGOs, IGOs and the general public.

Top Speakers
Dr Helene Lavoix
Founder and President
She provides cutting-edge insights on global political and international risk and insecurity, focusing on impacts for state, financial and corporate clients. Helene addresses all issues related to national and international security, conventional and unconventional. For example, in 2022, she researched and wrote an in-depth report on Ukraine for the UN OCHA. Lately, she looks more in depth into how human beings, actors and polities will increasingly have to face and live in extreme environments, including the overstepping of planetary boundaries and technological changes such as the new AI and Quantum world. She also focuses more traditionally on wars, on the rise of China and changes in the international system, including in terms of paradigm. She worked on the COVID-19 pandemic as a major threat.
She also addresses methodologies and tools for external risk analysis or strategic foresight and early warning systems. Helene has been a leading expert on international relations for more than two decades in the private sector, as an international consultant, and in academia.
