GLOBAL SCENARIOS 2021-2026

Are trade wars the new normal? Who will control AI? Will China take the US role in politics and economics? To answer these questions among others, Nordic West Office, together with 16 Nordic companies, has developed four Global Scenarios to describe plausible futures ranging from 2021 to 2026.

Scenarios help companies, organisations and societies to prepare for the future, and stress test their strategies.

The four scenarios are: Belt and Road, which lengthens China’s march and examines how far it will take us; War-War picks up on how patriotism, populism and protectionism unite and divide within borders; Cyberworld imagines what technology can do for us on a global level; Downshift focuses on the interplay of the new economy and changing values under conditions of lower growth but higher hopes.
