Critical Minerals, Critical Risks: Securing Supply Chains | Global Conference 2025
Daniel Yergin, Frank Fannon, Nicholas Myers, Kei Onishi, Vandita Pant, Nick Myers
Driven by surging demand from AI infrastructure and electrification, the global market faces a critical supply gap that requires doubling copper production by the mid-2030s. While China currently dominates rare earth output and smelting capabilities, emerging U.S. ventures like Phoenix Tailings are leveraging zero-emission technologies to process industrial waste and secure supply chains. Strategic investments from major automakers and corporate venture arms are accelerating domestic refining and exploration, yet the sector remains constrained by decades-long permitting cycles and a massive infrastructure funding deficit.

Transforming Food for a Healthier Future | Global Conference 2025
Holly Freishtat, Alice Hm Chen, Sarah Mastrorocco, Ashley Tyrner-Dolce, Aaron Wiese
Industry leaders from Centene, Hy-Vee, FarmboxRx, and Instacart are redefining healthcare strategy by treating food as a primary preventive tool rather than a mere treatment, leveraging data to prove that medically tailored nutrition significantly reduces chronic disease costs. This shift is driven by evidence that 50% of U.S. adults suffer from preventable diet-related conditions, prompting payers and retailers to integrate food access into care management despite regulatory ambiguities surrounding "healthy" food definitions under changing SNAP and Medicare Advantage rules. As the sector targets a 2035 vision of seamless access, stakeholders are balancing urgent clinical outcomes with the complex logistics of scaling personalized nutrition interventions across fragmented state policies.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz | Global Conference 2025
CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz has launched a strategic overhaul targeting an $80 billion annual savings by combating fraud, consolidating fragmented IT systems, and addressing lifestyle-driven chronic illness through the "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. The administration is restructuring federal incentives to support governors, deploying AI for real-time health notifications, and terminating wasteful contractors to fix systemic inefficiencies that currently cost the nation billions in duplicate payments and fraud. Oz warns that without these immediate structural interventions and a shift toward individual health responsibility, the Medicare and Medicaid system faces the risk of catastrophic collapse.

Next Tech Frontier: How Latin America Does It Best | Global Conference 2025
Rodrigo Bettini, Julio Vasconcellos, Roberto Campos Neto, Cesar Carvalho, Maya Dadoo, Scott Sobel, Cesar Gonzalez
Despite receiving a fraction of the venture capital allocated to other emerging markets, Latin American startups are generating superior global-scale outcomes through a unique combination of resilient talent, supportive public sector innovation, and venture funds outperforming global indices. Key success stories like WellHub and Worky illustrate how founders are leveraging regulatory tailwinds, such as Brazil's PIX system and Mexico's labor law reforms, to build defensible moats and achieve rapid international expansion. This trajectory is further accelerated by the Central Bank of Brazil's push for tokenization and Open Finance, which are dismantling legacy barriers and positioning the region as a future hub for programmable financial infrastructure and cross-border capital efficiency.

RAISE Summit 2025: The AI Evolution Open Source, Fast Inference, and the Agentic Revolution
Tony Kim, Thomas Wolf, Rodrigo Liang, Arjun Kharpal
The AI sector is rapidly pivoting from foundational model development to agentic inference and production, driven by a strategic race for full-stack superiority where proprietary models currently retain a six-to-twelve-month performance lead. Enterprises are increasingly adopting open-source alternatives to ensure data privacy and cost efficiency, prompting a hardware shift focused on energy-efficient inference rather than raw training power. While consumer assistants and automated SaaS applications are expected to mature within two years, the industry faces critical bottlenecks regarding gigawatt-scale energy demands and the potential for data security breaches.

Conversation with Venezuelan Democratic Movement Leader María Corina Machado | Global Conference
María Corina Machado, Sara Eisen
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado frames the Maduro regime as a global criminal hub that threatens hemispheric security while outlining a strategy to restore a trillion-dollar economy through immediate U.S. partnership and debt restructuring. She asserts that her coalition won a historic election by 70 percent and is prepared to assume power to dismantle drug trafficking networks, re-establish financial ties with the IMF, and serve as a protective shield for the Americas. Machado emphasizes that this transition relies on aligning with a law enforcement approach to isolate the regime and leverage Venezuelan natural resources to rebuild the nation within days of taking office.
