The Return of Scenario Thinking Global markets in 2025 continue to operate under conditions of persistent volatility.Uncertainty in trade, energy, geopolitics and technological adoption has challenged thereliability of traditional forecasting tools. In this context, scenario forecasting is remerging as a strategic discipline for governments, financial institutions andcorporations.Recent analyses highlight the limits of point forecasts in this environment. The FinancialTimes notes that economic projections have repeatedly missed turning points due tostructural breaks and non-linear shocks. (Financial

A Turning Point for Global Trade and Growth In 2025, the resurgence of trade tensions and tariff escalations has begun to reshapeglobal economic dynamics. What once appeared as episodic frictions now shows signsof a structural shift. The combined effect of increased protectionism, policy uncertaintyand supply chain realignment threatens to stall growth across regions.Forecasts by leading international organisations now factor in the cost of tradedisruptions. The shock affects not only exports and imports but also confidence,investment

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
