The Global Cooperation Barometer 2026 report from the World Economic Forum @wef in Davos clearly outlines the paradox of our era. Investments in frontier tech (from AI to semiconductors) are breaking records, yet the world of tech growth is becoming increasingly fragmented. In this context, our investment partner Viktor Shpakovsky @shpakovskycom highlighted in his commentary for Forbes Middle East @Forbes_MENA_ what we see as the central challenge: the key threat is not so much geopolitical turbulence, but the growing divide between those who have access to capital and capabilities and those who do not.
