Play Video: Rising to the challenge: Europe’s path to growth and resilience

The sharply deteriorating global order is adding further complications to Europe’s already challenging economic situation. New tariffs come at a time when economies are grappling with structural transformations in demographics and energy, and amidst increasing security spending needs. Export markets are shrinking, uncertainty is undermining firms’ willingness to innovate, and public expenditure needs are rising. Without a turnaround in growth, Europe’s ability to deliver on its social welfare promises is in jeopardy. If European policymakers were to seize the moment, the region’s growth potential and resilience to shocks could rise substantially.

Play Video: GPS for the Moon & Uncertain Global Economic Outlook | WEF | Top Stories Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Firm building a GPS for the Moon — A Spanish tech company, GMV, is developing LUPIN—a lunar GPS system that helps rovers and astronauts navigate the Moon's surface safely. Designed with the European Space Agency, LUPIN identifies the best routes by using satellite data to avoid hazards and guide explorers to their destinations. 1:31 How an AI agent could help you — If you’ve heard of AIAgents, you probably think of them as a sort of personalized robot assistant that can carry out tasks on your behalf. That would be wrong, says Kanjun Qiu, CEO of Imbue, an AI research lab. She says that, correctly used, AI agents are an advanced software tool that empowers users to customize and interact with their digital space more fully, without requiring the advanced skills of coders. 4:07 Uncertain global economic outlook — Amid trade tensions and a rise in nationalism, the world’s chief economists are unanimous in predicting a poor year for the global economy. It’s not all bad news, though: the rise of AI adds opportunity as well as disruption, while a reshuffle in global geopolitics could allow more marginal markets to shape their own destinies. 7:22 Students find careers with AI — In Latvia, students are getting help planning their futures with an AI career coach called Nākotnes darbs, or "future of work". This web-based platform starts with a personality test, asking users to rate their interest in 60 different activities, such as repairing bicycles or working in a lab.The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Given the overlapping crises facing the world today—widening inequality, accelerating climate change, rising political instability, and slowing progress in poverty reduction—it’s no longer enough to ask whether economies are growing. We need to ask at what costs and in what ways. In our latest episode of Experts Explain, Oxford professor and author Daniel Susskind discusses how we found ourselves in today’s growth dilemma and why confronting today’s challenges demands a total rethink of prosperity, how we measure it and what we truly value.
