2025 PROGRAM CONCEPT

IN MOTION

This year’s program is more than just a theme, it’s a movement!

At it’s core, In Motion recognises that nothing in our world exists in isolation. Everything we do is connected and in a continuous state of change, constantly evolving with every decision we make. In Motion expands on the idea that to move forward, we can’t just react to change—we need to move forward with a clear direction that aligns businesses, humanity, and the planet.

This year’s vision is about aligning entrepreneurship with the greater good, a commitment to drive economic development and progress across our ecosystem, and an opportunity to leverage innovation to navigate uncertainty together and take bold actions that resonate with larger global needs.
