A Changing World and Its Economic Consequences

Our world is undergoing profound structural change. Global dependencies in energy, raw materials, and technology, geopolitical tensions, and economic realignments are increasingly calling existing models of growth, stability, and prosperity into question—while simultaneously bringing to the forefront the issue of how economic value creation can be made sustainable over the long term.

Against this backdrop, capital markets are taking on a new significance. They are not only a reflection of these developments but also a central mechanism for enabling transformation, reassessing risks, and advancing economic structures. As such, they are becoming a decisive factor in shaping an economy that is future-ready and resilient.

As part of our cooperation with Deutsche Bank, we are delighted to welcome Markus Müller to the Bergson Academy. As Chief Investment Officer Sustainability and Global Head of the Chief Investment Office of the Private Bank, he brings a comprehensive perspective on the interplay between global transformation, long-term value creation, and financial markets.

In his presentation, Markus Müller will provide insights into the fundamental forces shaping today’s structural transformation. He will explore how dependencies are shifting, what new areas of tension are emerging, and why traditional economic assumptions increasingly need to be questioned—including with regard to how economic stability can be secured in the future.

The focus is less on individual asset classes and more on developing a deeper understanding of the transformation of economic systems and the role of capital within this process: in adapting existing structures, enabling the emergence of new ones, and addressing the question of how economic development can be designed to remain robust and sustainable over the long term.
