About this session
This flagship fireside brings together two of the most respected voices in capital markets. Kathy Matsui and Ravi Menon examine how capital markets must evolve to remain stable, competitive, and trusted in an era of climate transition, AI acceleration, and geopolitical fragmentation.
Both argue that sustainability is not an overlay — it is structural. Climate risk is financial risk. Diversity is economic growth strategy. AI governance is market stability. Capital allocation choices now shape not just returns, but the resilience of entire systems.
The question is not whether finance is evolving.
It is whether we are redesigning it deliberately — or allowing political cycles and technological acceleration to dictate the outcome.
A dialogue about capital, power, and responsibility in a decade that will test financial leadership. -
