(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 15-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Amundi hosted the 16th edition of the Amundi World Investment Forum in Paris on 11 and 12 June 2026, bringing together 1,500 participants for two days of discussion on the major forces shaping markets, economies and long-term investment decisions.

Established in 2010, the Amundi World Investment Forum has grown into one of the prominent annual gatherings in the asset management sector. The event brings together clients, investors, policy voices, experts and decision-makers from around the world to examine changing investment conditions and exchange perspectives on the trends influencing global capital markets.

The 2026 edition was held under the theme “Age of Empires? Power and Potential Remastered”, reflecting the changing balance of influence across economies, markets and institutions. Discussions focused on how new power dynamics are affecting the global financial environment, as investors navigate a period marked by geopolitical uncertainty, technological acceleration and structural demographic change.

A central theme of the Forum was the growing impact of geopolitics on markets and investment strategies. Speakers and participants explored how political fragmentation, shifting alliances and global competition are becoming increasingly important considerations for investors seeking to manage risk and identify long-term opportunities.

Technology also featured prominently throughout the event. Artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital transformation were highlighted as key drivers of competitiveness, business transformation and future growth. As companies and economies adapt to new technological realities, investors are increasingly assessing how innovation can influence productivity, resilience and market leadership.

Another major topic was longevity, which is emerging as a significant long-term investment theme. Longer life expectancy is reshaping how individuals, institutions and policymakers think about savings, retirement systems, healthcare needs and long-term capital allocation. The issue is becoming especially relevant for investors looking at future demographic trends and their implications for financial markets.

In a more fragmented and uncertain global environment, the Forum underlined the continued importance of diversification, resilience and long-term investment discipline. These themes were presented as essential considerations for investors seeking to adapt portfolios to changing economic, political and technological conditions.

The 2026 Amundi World Investment Forum also reinforced the event’s role as a platform for high-level discussion on the economic, technological and financial challenges shaping the future of investment. Video highlights and full replays from the Forum are now available.
