The momentum at GED SUMMIT 2026 kept building with two powerhouse sessions that gave our delegates the ultimate blueprint for growth and resilience.

First, Zachary Barker, CEcD, MS (Director of Entrepreneurship at IEDC) delivered an incredible Keynote Address on strategically designing entrepreneurship ecosystems to drive economic diversification, SME growth, and inclusive pathways for youth and women-led enterprises. 📈💡

We then transitioned into a candid Fireside Chat: "Managing Risk When Everything Feels Uncertain." The discussion cut through the corporate noise to explore how leaders can maintain clarity, avoid false trade-offs between innovation and control, and build truly resilient organizations in a volatile world. 💼🛡️

From building macro-ecosystems to mastering micro-execution, these sessions provided the actionable insights needed to lead the future economy.
