You are cordially invited to our annual seminar on Top 10 Geopolitical Risks in 2025 

      As Minister of Justice and Public Security Emilie Enger Mehl set out in January, ‘…We are leaving behind the period we have lived in since the 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, with a preparedness based on deep peace. Going forward, we must plan to be able to handle crises and war’. Join us for an in-person seminar as we explore what this new era looks like.

      With the publication of Eurasia Group’s top risks for 2025, it is our pleasure to invite you to a conversation with experts from business, academia and the public sector assessing the global political risks likely to play out this year. From Trump’s second administration to evolving global conflicts, our expert participants will analyse risk trends and hotspots, and their implications for Norway’s public and private sectors.

      Join us at KPMG Huset on February 12th for a thought-provoking start to your morning, with participation from Eurasia Group, Aker, Norges Bank Investment Management, Peace Research Institute Oslo, the Canadian Embassy, and more! 

      Welcome!
