OVERVIEW

The race to build the AI economy has transcended the digital sphere, evolving into a fundamental reconfiguration of the global industrial base. This is no longer merely a technology narrative; it is an imperative to realign the architectures of energy, critical minerals, and sovereign infrastructure.

Navigating this structural complexity requires a new level of convergence—uniting the architects of capital, policy, and industry to secure the foundations of the next industrial era.

The Convergence Series aims to shine a light on these themes through an innovative set of programs run globally on an ongoing basis.

THE SERIES AT A GLANCE

Through half-day forums and invitation-only salons, the Convergence Series provides a unique platform for innovation-focused leaders to explore new ideas at the intersection of capital, policy, and industry — and to build the relationships that will shape the next industrial era.

These three themes anchor every event in the series:

SOVEREIGN INFRASTRUCTURE + DIGITAL OWNERSHIP

INDUSTRIAL RECONFIGURATION
