The Bloomberg Adria Business & Vision Summit 2026, envisioned as the Future Economy Lab 2030, is the region’s premier strategic forum for business, finance, and technology. Against the backdrop of US-China rivalry, geopolitical risk, and shifting global markets, the summit convenes European monetary authorities, CEOs, industrial leaders, investors, and innovators to examine how megatrends—from AI disruption to evolving private markets—will reshape the Adria and CEE economies by 2030.

The summit engages, informs, and inspires the decision-makers who shape the world, fostering dialogue that sparks insight, mobilizes capital, and scales innovation. By focusing on capital markets and the convergence of public and private sectors, it provides a forward-looking platform to navigate uncertainty, unlock growth opportunities, and harness technology to transform industries and societies.

Geopolitical risks

As the 21st century’s great-power rivalry between the US and China unfolds, Europe faces profound uncertainty. Geopolitical shocks are disrupting supply chains, rerouting capital flows, and forcing both multinationals and nations to rethink strategies that once seemed unshakable. The assumptions that have guided business and finance for decades are being rewritten before our eyes, demanding agility, foresight, and decisive action.

Capital markets

Global markets are navigating unprecedented uncertainty, as investors contend with complex geopolitical, macroeconomic, and sector-specific risks. With the possibility of a global tech bubble on the horizon, agility, insight, and experience have never been more critical**.** Sharpening its focus on private markets and private credit, the Summit is also exploring how these asset classes are reshaping capital formation, redefining risk management, and unlocking new growth opportunities across the financial industry.

Technology Disruptions

As companies and financial institutions move from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, AI is evolving from a supporting technology into a key driver of innovation and competitive advantage. The focus is shifting beyond proof-of-concept projects toward delivering measurable real-world impact. The spotlight is moving to autonomous, agentic AI and the integration of intelligence into the physical world and science—beyond traditional generative models.
