Geo-Economics, Climate Resilience, and AI

The global economy is entering a new, more volatile era shaped by intensified geopolitical competition, the development of disruptive technologies and fundamental transitions in energy and knowledge systems. The interlocking nature of these transformations has placed geoeconomics at the center of long-term decision-making for policymakers, companies, and investors alike.  

Governments with competing spending priorities need to harness private capital to achieve their economic development and growth goals. There has been a profound structural shift that will make the global economy and financial markets of the twenty-first century more volatile and disordered than those of the twentieth century.

The Milken Institute's Geo-Economics Initiative delivers research and strategic insight to help businesses, governments, and investors make sense of this shifting landscape and act decisively within it. 

Mission

The Geo-Economics Initiative (GEO) draws on the Milken Institute’s expertise, global reach, and networks of private investors and community partners to create proactive strategies for the new age of adaptation. We help governments unlock private-sector capital, investors navigate the emerging landscape, and communities attract investment to build resilient, sustainable economies.
