As the next wave of technology-led growth reshapes economies and global influence, The Next 3 Billion asks one of the defining questions of the decade: will the innovations reshaping global power expand opportunity or concentrate it?

At the intersection of the global AI expansion and the urgent development agenda, The Next 3 Billion will spotlight the leaders shaping a more inclusive and prosperous future for the world’s most ascendent regions.
