## Resource

"One of the most common refrains you used to hear 10 years ago was 'US innovates, China imitates, and Europe regulates'. Today, I don't hear that anymore." Aparna Bharadwaj, a managing director at Boston Consulting Group, joins us to analyse what we learned about geopolitics and business relations at Summer Davos, AMNC26. And Yang Yanqing, director of ShanghaiTech's Center for Education, Innovation and Sustainable Development, dissects how the rise of artificial intelligence has transformed education and jobs markets worldwide. Both were in Dalian, China for the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions and joined us online to discuss the big lessons on geopolitics, economics and more from AMNC26. Hosts: Robin Pomeroy, Radio Davos, and Jessica Wanger, Deputy Head, Event Editorial, World Economic Forum This episode was recorded live in front of an online audience of Forum partners and digital members who can watch it here: https://toplink.weforum.org/sessions/a0WTG000001drrt2AA/annual-meeting-of-the-new-champions-debrief-2026 .
