Topical event

The global pandemic – and Trump’s first term in office – revealed geopolitics as a major driver of financial trends and investment strategies. It has remained a key influencer of global economic output ever since. Join us to dive into the impact of geopolitics on finance.

This is the third lecture on this topic from Christian Van den Heede. If you missed 2020 and 2024 – make sure you don’t miss this one.

This event is one of five personal development lectures hosted by the Alumni Progress Club.
