We are living in an era of great uncertainty. The world order as we have known it for decades is under pressure. From trade wars and economic sanctions to cyber threats and escalating conflicts in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific. These geopolitical tensions are no longer distant concerns. They have a direct impact on our economy, our energy security, our digital infrastructures and the trust in supply chains, markets, and institutions. We will engage in a conversation about how companies, regulators and leaders can, and must, anticipate this shifting global landscape. How do we maintain agility and resilience in a time of increasing complexity?

Kitty Koelemeijer will share her perspective on these developments, drawing from her extensive experience in business, academia and her role as a supervisory board member at KPN, a company at the heart of the Netherlands’ vital digital infrastructure. As geopolitical tensions mount and digital threats grow in scale and sophistication, organizations like KPN find themselves under constant pressure to safeguard connectivity, data integrity, and public trust. In her role, Kitty is directly involved in overseeing strategic decision-making around resilience, cyber security, and long-term value creation in a sector where national security, innovation, and public interest intersect. Her insights provide a unique lens on how leaders can navigate an increasingly unpredictable world while protecting the critical systems our economy and society depend on.
