The twenty-first century is witnessing an unprecedented transformation in the global socio-economic and geopolitical landscape. Rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital technologies, and data-driven innovation, coupled with shifting geopolitical dynamics, climate imperatives,evolving legal frameworks, and changing patterns of global trade, are reshaping economies, institutions, and societies. These developments present both extraordinary opportunities and complex challenges, demanding informed policy discourse, interdisciplinary research, ethical governance, and collaborative global engagement.

As the world progresses towards a new global order, the pursuit of sustainable development, technological sovereignty, resilient institutions, and inclusive economic growth has become a shared global priority. India, with its growing leadership in digital public infrastructure, innovation, entrepreneurship, and knowledge-driven development, is uniquely positioned to contribute to shaping this emerging global landscape. Achieving these aspirations requires meaningful collaboration among academia, industry, government, and civil society to generate research-driven solutions that address contemporary economic, technological, legal, environmental, and social challenges.

Recognizing these emerging realities, Gitarattan International Business School (GIBS), Delhi, is organising the 17th International Conference (IC-GIBS 2027) on the theme:

"The New Global Order 2030: Navigating Geopolitics, Artificial Intelligence, Business Transformation and Legal Challenges."

The conference seeks to serve as a distinguished international platform for academicians, researchers, policymakers, legal experts, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, development practitioners, and students from across the world to engage in meaningful dialogue on the transformative forces shaping the future. It aims to encourage interdisciplinary exchange of ideas across the domains of management, commerce, economics, law, governance, public policy, technology, and the social sciences, recognizing that the challenges of the future demand integrated, innovative, and collaborative approaches.

Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, technical sessions, and scholarly deliberations, the conference will explore contemporary issues including responsible Artificial Intelligence, digital transformation, sustainable business practices, ESG integration, cybersecurity, international trade, climate resilience, legal and regulatory innovations, digital governance, and emerging global policy frameworks. The deliberations are expected to stimulate high-quality research, foster international academic collaborations, promote evidence-based decision-making, and generate actionable insights for policymakers, industry, and society.

IC-GIBS 2027 aspires to strengthen global research partnerships, encourage cross-disciplinary scholarship, nurture young researchers, and facilitate meaningful engagement between academia and practice. By bringing together distinguished experts and emerging scholars from diverse disciplines and countries, the conference seeks to contribute towards building resilient institutions, responsible innovation ecosystems, and sustainable development pathways that advance inclusive growth, global cooperation, and a future-ready knowledge society.
