The rules of the business world are changing rapidly. A small team builds an app in two weeks that generates 3 million dollars in 48 hours. Klarna replaces 700 jobs with a chatbot. Deepfakes are becoming so convincing that criminals are imitating the voices of CEOs to force payments. And at Google, AI already writes a quarter of all new code.
As businesses navigate geopolitical tensions, climate challenges and staff shortages, new opportunities are also on the horizon. Because the future is not a story of less, but of different.
This is shown in our Trend Report: The business world in 2030, in which BDO Belgium and trend watcher Tom Palmaerts take you on a journey into the near future. Not with doom scenarios, but with surprising insights that challenge you. Why is a 60-year-old who founds a start-up three times more likely to succeed? What happens if we see AI not only as an efficiency tool, but as a lever for higher quality? And how do you build resilience in a world where climate disasters cost Europe 43 billion euros in a single summer?
The future does not have to be limiting. It offers direction and opportunities, provided that organisations dare to make the right choices today. Our Trend Report brings together the insights and practical tools to help you do just that.
