BCG at the Annual Meeting of New Champions 2026
The world's growth story is being rewritten - and Asia is holding the pen.
As emerging markets outpace advanced economies by nearly three to one, and as AI, shifting supply chains, and demographic change redefine competitive advantage, the imperative is no longer just to innovate - it's to innovate at scale.
BCG is proud to return to Summer Davos as a leading voice and partner. At AMNC 2026, our leaders will engage with heads of state, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to explore how governments and businesses can close the gap between technological breakthrough and broad-based economic benefit - turning disruption into growth that is faster, more inclusive, and more durable.
From China's evolving economic outlook to the future of global trade, industrial policy, and AI deployment, BCG brings deep expertise and a global network to the conversations that matter most.
Join us in Dalian.
