GCNT EXPO 2026 (September 2–4, 2026, Bangkok) convenes leaders across government, business, UN, finance, academia, and civil society to address how Thailand can transform global shocks—geopolitical conflict, climate change, technology disruption, trade instability, and rising costs—into sustainable economic, social, and environmental change. The expo emphasizes a shift from action and announcements to measurable impact; SMEs and communities must be co-creators, not just victims of change. Business investment, leadership commitment, and government systems must align to enable this transition equitably.
