We are facing multiple geopolitical and geoeconomic crises, just think of the US-China competition, the Ukraine war, the energy crisis, hunger and starvation in large parts of the world, as well as economic challenges like de-coupling versus de-risking, supply chains, inflation and trade wars. Where is “geopolitics” heading? Are we seeing the end of the Pax Americana? What kind of multipolar world is developing? Or, is the US ready to lead again? And what implications do international companies and organisations have to be prepared for? In this Friends of stars Meeting, stars International Board Member Ivo H. DAALDER, President of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, discusses these and other crucial questions.

The format will be as follows:

• 11.30: Welcome Drinks
