A Year Marked by Structural Breakdowns The consulting sector experienced several high impact incidents throughout 2025.These cases revealed vulnerabilities in governance, quality control, ethical oversight andmodel validation across global firms.They also highlighted the growing complexity of engagements and the pressure todeliver at speed in an environment reshaped by regulation, technology and publicscrutiny.For an industry where credibility and professional judgement are foundational, theevents of 2025 underline the need for resilient processes, transparent decisionpathways and controlled use

The Convergence of Biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence Biotechnology is advancing through the ability to interpret complex biological data.Platforms such as Omniscope combine immunology with algorithmic models to analyseT and B cells at a resolution that reveals early biomarkers of ageing. In parallel, research lines associated with George Church and Ray Kurzweil develop AIassisted regenerative therapies designed to restore cellular function and extendbiological vitality. The convergence of biomedicine and predictive systems opens a new frontier for

The New Economic Crossroads The world economy stands at the edge of what analysts call Stagflation 2.0, a blend ofslowing growth, sticky inflation, and policy paralysis. According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook (April 2024), global growth remains“weak by historical standards,” while inflation “may take longer to return to target.”Similarly, the World Bank warns that the structural forces that once kept prices low, likeglobalisation, cheap energy, abundant labour, are fading. Unlike the 1970s, this episode

From Treatment to Prevention: The Rise of Geroscience Modern science is shifting its focus, from treating diseases to addressing the biologicalmechanisms that cause them. This emerging discipline, known as geroscience, studieshow cellular processes such as inflammation, vascular degradation, and immunedecline drive chronic illness. At the Royal National Academy of Medicine of Spain (RANME), researchers are leadingthe development of the National Geroscience Strategy (2026–2030), aimed atintegrating molecular biology, AI, and clinical research into a framework.Its objective

Algorithms and the Unpredictable Economy The debate over whether algorithms can anticipate disruptive shocks, financial crises,technological leaps, or geopolitical ruptures, has re-emerged. In recent years, economists and data scientists have begun to analyze chaos not as somethingfully predictable, but as something measurable through non-linear analytics. As the European Central Bank observed in its Economic Bulletin (2021): “Machine learning can complement traditional econometric techniques, particularlywhen modelling non linearities and structural breaks.” This insight reflects a new

Climate as a Determinant of Longevity At the 2025 Global Longevity Forum, researchers emphasized that climate change is emergingas a major determinant of human lifespan.According to Dr. José Serres, “for every 1°C increase in global temperature, average lifeexpectancy falls by 0.44 years, roughly five months per person.” This finding reframes climate change not merely as an environmental challenge, but as alongevity crisis.Rising temperatures, air pollution, and food insecurity are accelerating age related decline andwidening health
