Business finds itself continually disrupted by a world that is changing in profound ways, and so we ask: Is it possible to foresee the next paradigm-shifting developments? 

Join us as we dive into key emerging issues with the power to reshape sustainable business over the next decade, discussed in the Fast Forward's latest edition. We'll explore these issues and their impacts on society, ecosystems, and business. Take a read, particularly of Satellites Remaking Supply Chains, A Scramble for Battery Minerals, and The Workforce Challenges of Long COVID. Bring your own thoughts and insights—we’re looking forward to your contribution to our second Fast Forward Impact and Opportunities in Asia discussion!
