Corporate Governance 5.0
17th November, 2026 | 09:00 - 12:30 CET
Objective
Corporate Governance must increasingly move beyond compliance and periodic oversight. This seminar introduces Corporate Governance 5.0 as a future oriented framework based on trust, resilience, adaptability, and sustainable value creation. Participants will explore how artificial intelligence, cyber threats, geopolitical fragmentation, platform economies, and ecosystem dependencies are changing the responsibilities of Boards. The seminar expands the governance perimeter beyond the legal entity to include strategic partners, suppliers, platforms, infrastructure providers, and other critical stakeholders. It also examines the competencies required by the Board of the future and the transition from quarterly reporting to continuous governance information. Participants will gain a practical perspective on how organizations can begin their journey towards continuous value stewardship.

• Trust, resilience, and adaptability as foundations of sustainable value creation
• New governance requirements arising from AI, cyber risk, and geopolitical change
