Advancing understanding of long-term outcomes in chronic inflammatory skin diseases
Galderma will present new data to EADV attendees to further advance understanding of atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis.

Highlights include an oral presentation on the safety and efficacy data from the ARCADIA open-label long-term extension study in adults and adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, at 152 weeks.1 It will take place on Thursday, October 1, from 10:45-10:55 AM CET in Hall N. A second oral presentation will examine how itch, skin lesion severity, and conversely, treatment with Nemluvio impact sleep disturbance in patients with atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis, and will take place on Thursday, October 1, from 11:15-11:25 AM CET in Hall N.2

Additional presentations will quantify the impact of itch and skin lesion severity on quality of life in atopic dermatitis and evaluate the long-term safety profile of Nemluvio over two years across the ARCADIA and OLYMPIA extension studies. An exploration of new real-world evidence characterizing patients with atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis receiving advanced systemic therapies, alongside a data-driven conceptual disease model designed to deepen understanding of disease burden and outcomes in prurigo nodularis, will also be presented at the congress.3-7

Galderma will also host a symposium titled "Advancing treatment outcomes in atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis: Targeting the IL-31 neuroimmune pathways," on Friday, October 2, from 1:00-2:00 PM CET in Hall C, Level 2. Featuring experts Dr. Sarina Elmariah, Dr. Andrew Pink, and Prof. Stephen Weidinger, the session will explore the burden of itch in atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis, the role of neuroimmune cytokines beyond itch and how advanced therapies can help improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

New scientific insights into sensitive and fragile skin and skin longevity
Across three key scientific events and eight posters at EADV, Galderma will showcase emerging research, innovative technologies and expert perspectives all reflecting a shared ambition to advance sensitive skin health while helping unlock the potential of skin longevity.

This includes an Industry Expert Hub session, "Targeting cellular senescence to counter skin aging and dermatoporosis: A science-driven innovation for skin longevity," taking place on Thursday, October 1. Featuring Prof. Adam Friedman, Prof. Alan Widgerow and Prof. Glynis Ablon, the session will explore skin biology and the mechanisms that influence skin aging, including how science-driven innovation could help preserve skin structure, resilience and health over time, supporting a new vision for skin longevity.

Galderma will also present the results of a prospective, baseline-controlled study evaluating a gentle Cetaphil Restoraderm cleanser and barrier-restoring moisturizer regimen in patients with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis, assessing biophysical, clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.8 Additional research on Cetaphil will explore two distinct areas: antioxidant serums designed to support daytime skin defense and nighttime skin repair; and, separately, dermatoporosis, including its clinical manifestations, and evidence on the effects of Cetaphil Hydrating and Firming Cream on mature, fragile skin and associated biomarkers.9,10,11

Also at EADV, Galderma’s Cetaphil Innovation Forum will examine the biological mechanisms that drive skin aging, and the emerging innovations targeting them, highlighting a new frontier in skincare: moving beyond visible signs of aging to preserve skin longevity. Interactive masterclasses in Galderma's exclusive Skin Knowledge Innovation Network (SKIN) lounge, will explore the growing role of skin longevity in dermatology practice, including approaches to supporting skin barrier function, hydration, resilience and skin quality. In the Global Sensitive Skincare Faculty (GSSF) Annual Scientific Meeting, Galderma's invitation-only expert forum, experts will gather to exchange knowledge and insights on the latest advances in sensitive skin research and the biological processes that underpin skin health.

Innovations in acne management
Acne is another key focus area for Galderma with new research to be presented at the EADV Congress, including an evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity and synergistic effects of its patented combination of a lysine-based dendritic polymer and niacinamide on human skin cells.12 Additional presentations will explore a multi-active hydrocolloid patch for acne pustules, Aklief® (trifarotene)'s effects on skin redness and color evenness in patients with acne and acne scars as well as how dermatology practitioners approach acne management after isotretinoin treatment.13,14,15

Space42 et Viasat signent un accord contraignant pour cofonder Equatys, créant la première plateforme partagée d’infrastructures spatiales et terrestres pour la connectivité mondiale Direct-to-Device et les services MSS avancés

 

PARIS - lundi, 14. septembre 2026

 

• Engagement de financement : La signature d’un accord contraignant prévoit jusqu’à 1 milliard USD d’engagements combinés en fonds propres de Space42 et Viasat en tant que cofondateurs initiaux d’Equatys ;
• Avancement du programme : La signature simultanée d’un accord visant à accroître le financement accélère le développement du programme de la constellation satellitaire initiale ; la première tranche de la constellation évolutive devrait être attribuée lors de la constitution d’Equatys, avec la nomination prévue de Viasat en tant que maître d’œuvre technologique ;
• Différenciation stratégique : Equatys vise à offrir une base favorisant le choix et l’interopérabilité, ainsi que des avantages économiques significatifs découlant des gains d’efficacité géographiques et spectraux pour les opérateurs spatiaux mondiaux, régionaux et nationaux participants utilisant le spectre sous licence des Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) et/ou du Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS) ;
• Modèle économique / investissement attractif : Le modèle Tower Company vise à générer une valeur économique cumulative pour les fournisseurs de services satellitaires à mesure que la base d’utilisateurs s’élargit, en réduisant la part des coûts satellitaires supportée par chaque participant, en améliorant l’efficacité spectrale ainsi que les performances et la disponibilité du réseau à des échelles qui seraient autrement hors de portée de chaque opérateur pris individuellement ; ce modèle de croissance cumulative offre un potentiel de rendement attractif aux partenaires stratégiques et financiers supplémentaires à mesure que le système se développe.

 

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), entreprise SpaceTech basée aux Émirats arabes unis et propulsée par l’IA, et Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), leader mondial des communications satellitaires et sécurisées, ont annoncé aujourd’hui la signature, lors de la World Space Business Week à Paris, d’un accord visant à établir officiellement Equatys, une plateforme partagée d’infrastructures spatiales et terrestres qui permettra d’étendre la couverture mobile et d’assurer une couverture complémentaire dans les zones que les réseaux terrestres ne peuvent desservir, notamment dans les zones de couverture insuffisante au sein des agglomérations. Lors de la constitution d’Equatys, Space42 et Viasat s’engageront à effectuer un apport initial en fonds propres pouvant atteindre 1 milliard USD.

Le développement de la constellation initiale s’accélère avec la signature simultanée d’un accord visant à accroître le financement conjoint. Lors de la constitution d’Equatys, Viasat devrait être nommée maître d’œuvre technologique de l’entreprise.

L’entreprise est créée alors que la demande mondiale en connectivité mobile par satellite s’accélère. Les normes 3GPP NTN permettant aux smartphones courants et aux appareils connectés d’accéder aux réseaux satellitaires, le marché potentiel du Direct-to-Device (D2D) et des MSS avancés devrait connaître une expansion significative au cours des prochaines décennies. Ensemble, Viasat et Space42 bénéficient d’une portée mondiale inégalée grâce à leurs relations commerciales avec plus de 400 opérateurs mobiles dans le monde et à leur accès à la plus grande quantité (>100MHz) de spectre MSS coordonné à l’échelle mondiale disponible pour le déploiement D2D, créant ainsi une base de croissance particulièrement évolutive.

Equatys est conçue pour permettre la connexion directe aux satellites de smartphones, d’appareils IoT et d’autres dispositifs et terminaux, offrant ainsi aux opérateurs mobiles un moyen de proposer des services voix, texte et données là où les réseaux cellulaires sont indisponibles ou présentent une faible densité. L’accord s’appuie sur les travaux menés par Space42 et Viasat concernant la conception technique et la fabrication des satellites, ainsi que sur les progrès réalisés au sein de l’écosystème en matière d’intégration transparente aux réseaux terrestres, de normes d’interopérabilité et de retours de plusieurs opérateurs de réseaux mobiles et acteurs de l’écosystème. Il s’agit de la prochaine étape du rôle de Space42 et Viasat en tant que cofondateurs d’Equatys, annoncé pour la première fois en mars 2025, lorsque Space42 et Viasat ont lancé des études techniques et commerciales financées portant sur une infrastructure partagée de réseau non terrestre (NTN), suivies de l’annonce de septembre 2025 concernant leur intention de créer Equatys.

Equatys repose sur un modèle Tower Company, une approche éprouvée qui a permis au secteur de la téléphonie mobile terrestre de se développer efficacement grâce au partage d’infrastructures standardisées et/ou communes entre l’ensemble ou un grand nombre d’opérateurs. Equatys fournira une couche neutre et partagée comprenant à la fois des satellites et des infrastructures terrestres ; en partageant les infrastructures plutôt qu’en les dupliquant, les acteurs de l’écosystème peuvent réduire leurs besoins en capitaux, accélérer le déploiement, accroître la disponibilité des services et préserver leur indépendance commerciale ainsi que leur relation avec leurs clients. Les titulaires de licences d’exploitation participants qui partagent les infrastructures peuvent réaliser des économies supérieures à celles qu’ils pourraient probablement obtenir dans les limites de leur propre couverture géographique et/ou de leurs autorisations d’utilisation du spectre, au point de potentiellement rivaliser avec les plus grandes constellations individuelles, voire les surpasser. Plusieurs opérateurs peuvent utiliser la même plateforme tout en conservant leurs propres droits de licence sur le spectre, leurs clients et leurs relations commerciales. Le modèle économique est ouvert par conception, permettant ainsi à d’autres titulaires de licences de spectre et opérateurs satellitaires d’utiliser la constellation, qui prend en charge des niveaux élevés d’agrégation, de coordination et de coopération du spectre. La constellation initiale constitue la première phase d’une architecture conçue pour évoluer jusqu’à 2 800 satellites répartis sur 60 plans orbitaux et trois couches d’altitude, permettant une densification sans refonte à mesure que la demande augmente.

Le financement de l’entreprise devrait provenir d’une combinaison de fonds propres des fondateurs, de fonds propres de tiers et de sources de financement par emprunt. Le modèle devrait offrir aux investisseurs en fonds propres des rendements comparables à ceux des infrastructures, assortis d’un potentiel d’appréciation, tandis que des levées de fonds propres par étapes permettront à d’autres partenaires stratégiques et financiers de participer à mesure que le système se développe. Les titulaires de licences supplémentaires utilisant le système ne seraient pas tenus d’y investir pour pouvoir l’utiliser.

Au sein de cette nouvelle entreprise, chaque partenaire fondateur apporte une envergure considérable au système. Space42 détient des droits coordonnés sur le spectre en bande L dans plus de 160 marchés ainsi que des relations avec des opérateurs mobiles qui étendent la portée commerciale de la plateforme. Viasat devrait agir en tant que maître d’œuvre technologique et détient des droits coordonnés sur le spectre MSS en bande L à l’échelle mondiale et en bande S en Europe. Ensemble, Space42 et Viasat disposent d’accords commerciaux avec plus de 400 opérateurs mobiles dans le monde, ainsi que des capacités techniques et de l’accès nécessaires pour opérer sur plus de 100 MHz de spectre MSS coordonné à l’échelle mondiale pour les services MSS avancés et les services NTN D2D.

Karim Michel Sabbagh, directeur général de Space42, a déclaré : « Avec la signature de cet accord, Equatys prend son envol. Pour la première fois, l’industrie satellitaire construit une infrastructure selon la logique de l’industrie mobile : partagée, interopérable, fondée sur des normes et conçue pour des milliards d’appareils plutôt que pour des millions d’abonnés. Space42 et Viasat ont chacune apporté ce que l’autre ne pouvait apporter et, ensemble, nous avons constitué un système de capacités différenciées unique dans l’industrie spatiale. Nous avons toujours su que cela était à notre portée, et aujourd’hui, nous le prouvons. »

« Nous créons une nouvelle catégorie d’infrastructures pour la connectivité mondiale D2D et les MSS avancés, soutenue par des actifs spectraux uniques, des capitaux engagés considérables et un modèle économique dont la capacité à accompagner le développement de l’industrie mobile a fait ses preuves. La finalisation de la constitution d’Equatys reflète notre confiance collective dans la valeur stratégique et les avantages financiers à long terme de cette entreprise, destinée à soutenir un marché non terrestre en pleine croissance pour les nouveaux services D2D NTN et Advanced Mobile Satellite Services », a déclaré Mark Dankberg, président du conseil d’administration et directeur général de Viasat. « En créant un système doté d’une technologie de pointe et de mécanismes permettant un accès neutre, partagé et fiable aux infrastructures, Equatys accélérera l’innovation dans le domaine de la connectivité spatiale, établira une architecture évolutive et interopérable conçue pour soutenir un écosystème complet de participants en leur offrant choix et économies d’échelle, et générera des opportunités de croissance significatives assorties de rendements attractifs pour les investisseurs et les partenaires. »

Opportunité de marché

• Le marché mondial de la connectivité satellitaire D2D devrait atteindre 30-70 milliards USD d’ici 2040, initialement porté par l’intégration de la prise en charge NTN dans 3GPP Release 17, la norme technique qui sous-tend les réseaux mobiles à l’échelle mondiale, avec une intégration encore plus étroite prévue dans les versions futures.
• Cette évolution des normes signifie que les smartphones courants et les appareils IoT peuvent se connecter aux réseaux satellitaires sans matériel spécialisé, ouvrant ainsi un marché qu’aucune génération précédente de satellites ne pouvait raisonnablement desservir.

Cadre des fonds propres

Lors de la constitution d’Equatys, Space42 et Viasat s’engageront chacune à effectuer un apport initial en fonds propres de 400 millions USD, qui devrait être augmenté d’un montant supplémentaire de 200 millions USD de la part de Space42 dans le cadre d’un futur tour de financement en fonds propres ouvert aux investisseurs tiers, portant le total des apports en fonds propres des deux parties à un montant pouvant atteindre 1 milliard USD.

La constitution de l’entreprise, l’acquisition de la constellation et les accords définitifs correspondants restent soumis aux conditions de clôture habituelles, notamment aux approbations réglementaires et à la nomination de Viasat en tant que maître d’œuvre technologique. Les entreprises ont l’intention de fournir de nouvelles informations à mesure qu’Equatys progresse vers la réalisation de ces conditions.

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), the UAE-based AI-powered SpaceTech company, and Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite and secure communications, today announced the signing of an agreement at World Space Business Week in Paris to formally establish Equatys, a shared space and ground infrastructure platform that will support the extension of mobile coverage and overlay in the places terrestrial networks cannot serve, including in coverage gaps in populated metro areas. Upon the formation of Equatys, Space42 and Viasat will commit to an initial equity contribution of up to USD1 billion.

Development of the initial constellation accelerates with the simultaneous signing of an agreement to step-up joint funding. Upon formation of Equatys, Viasat is expected to be appointed as the company’s prime technology contractor.

The company is being established as global demand for satellite-enabled mobile connectivity accelerates. With 3GPP NTN standards enabling everyday smartphones and connected devices to access satellite networks, the addressable Direct-to-Device (D2D) and advanced MSS market is expected to expand significantly over the coming decades. Together, Viasat and Space42 bring unmatched global reach through commercial relationships with more than 400 mobile operators worldwide and access to the largest amount (>100MHz) of globally coordinated MSS spectrum available for D2D deployment, creating a uniquely scalable foundation for growth.

Equatys is designed to support the connection of smartphones, IoT devices, and other devices and terminals directly to satellites, giving mobile operators a way to offer voice, text, and data where cellular networks are otherwise unavailable or have low density. The agreement builds on work by Space42 and Viasat on the technical design and manufacture of the satellites, along with ecosystem progress in seamless terrestrial network integration, interoperability standards, and feedback from a number of mobile network operators and ecosystem participants. This is the next stage in Space42 and Viasat’s roles as co-founders of Equatys, first announced in March 2025, when Space42 and Viasat began funded technical and commercial studies of shared non-terrestrial network (NTN) infrastructure, followed by the September 2025 announcement of their intention to form Equatys.

Equatys is built on a Tower Company model, a proven approach that helped the terrestrial mobile industry efficiently scale by sharing standardized and/or common infrastructure among all or many operators. Equatys will provide a neutral, shared layer of both satellites and ground infrastructure; by sharing infrastructure rather than duplicating it, ecosystem participants can reduce capital requirements, accelerate deployment, increase service availability, and maintain customer and commercial independence. Participating operating licensees sharing infrastructure can realize greater cost efficiency than is likely possible within their own geographic coverage area and/or spectrum authorizations – potentially rivalling or surpassing even the largest individual constellations. Multiple operators can use the same platform while maintaining their own spectrum licensing rights, customers, and commercial relationships. The business model is open by design, so additional spectrum licensees and satellite operators can use the constellation, which supports high levels of spectrum aggregation, coordination and cooperation. The initial constellation is the first phase of an architecture designed to scale to 2,800 satellites across 60 orbital planes and three altitude layers, enabling densification without redesign as demand grows.

The company’s funding is expected to come from a combination of founders’ equity, third-party equity and debt financing sources. The model is anticipated to offer equity investors infrastructure-grade returns with appreciation potential, while phased equity offerings will allow additional strategic and financial partners to participate as the system scales. Additional licensee users of the system would not be required to invest in the system in order to use it.

Within this new company, each founding partner brings significant scale to the system. Space42 holds coordinated L-band spectrum rights across more than 160 markets and mobile operator relationships that extend the platform’s commercial reach. Viasat is expected to serve as prime technology contractor, and holds coordinated MSS spectrum rights in the L-band globally and in the S-band in Europe. Together, Space42 and Viasat hold commercial agreements with more than 400 mobile operators worldwide and technical capability and access to operate across over 100 MHz of globally coordinated MSS spectrum for advanced MSS services and NTN D2D services.

Karim Michel Sabbagh, Managing Director of Space42, said: "With the signing of this agreement, Equatys takes off. For the first time, the satellite industry is building infrastructure the way the mobile industry thinks: shared, interoperable, standards-based, and designed for billions of devices rather than millions of subscribers. Space42 and Viasat have each brought what the other could not, and together we have assembled a differentiated capabilities system unique to the space industry. We have always known it was within our reach, and today we are proving it."

"We are creating a new infrastructure category for global D2D and advanced MSS connectivity, backed by unique spectrum assets, significant committed capital, and a business model proven to scale the mobile industry. Finalizing the formation of Equatys reflects our collective confidence in the strategic value and long-term financial merits of this venture to support a rapidly growing non-terrestrial market for emerging D2D NTN and advanced Mobile Satellite Services," said Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of Viasat. "By creating a system with state of the art technology, and mechanisms for neutral, shared, and trusted infrastructure access, Equatys will accelerate innovation in space-based connectivity, establish a scalable and interoperable architecture designed to support a full ecosystem of participants with choice and economies of scale, and deliver meaningful growth opportunities with attractive returns for investors and partners."

Industry Opportunity

• The global D2D satellite connectivity market is projected to reach USD 30-70 billion by 2040, initially driven by the embedding of NTN support into 3GPP Release 17, the technical standard underpinning mobile networks globally, with even closer integration planned for future releases.
• The standards shift means everyday smartphones and IoT devices can connect to satellite networks without specialized hardware, opening a market that no prior satellite generation could realistically serve.

Equity Framework

Upon the formation of Equatys, Space42 and Viasat will each commit to an initial equity contribution of USD 400 million, which is expected to be increased by an additional USD 200 million from Space42 in connection with a future equity funding round open to third-party investors, bringing the two parties’ total equity contributions to up to USD1 billion.

The formation of the venture, constellation procurement and corresponding definitive agreements remain subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the appointment of Viasat as the prime technology contractor. The companies intend to provide further updates as Equatys progresses toward those conditions.

Le podcast Doha Debates revient pour une nouvelle saison consacrée aux idées qui façonnent notre monde

 Doha, Qatar - jeudi, 24. septembre 2026

La saison de 20 épisodes, lancée le 22 septembre, approfondit les questions soulevées lors des débats phares et des assemblées publiques mondiales à travers des conversations au long cours.

 

Doha Debates, une initiative de Qatar Foundation, a lancé une nouvelle saison du Doha Debates Podcast, composée de 20 épisodes diffusés chaque semaine jusqu’au 16 février 2027. La série réunit d’éminents penseurs du monde entier pour débattre de certaines des questions les plus complexes et les plus difficiles auxquelles le monde est confronté.

Le podcast prolonge les thèmes abordés dans ses débats phares et ses assemblées publiques à travers des conversations approfondies, reflétant l’engagement de Doha Debates en faveur d’un dialogue ouvert, axé sur la recherche de la vérité et explorant les enjeux mondiaux avec profondeur, nuance et respect de la diversité des points de vue.

Le premier épisode, intitulé « La Chine ou l’Occident conduira-t-il le monde vers l’avenir ? », animé par Soraya Salam, réunit Renata Ávila, directrice générale de l’Open Knowledge Foundation ; Arnaud Bertrand, entrepreneur ; Isabel Hilton, professeure invitée au Lau China Institute du King's College London ; et Henry Wang, fondateur et président du Center for China and Globalization. Ensemble, ils examinent la compétition autour de l’influence, de la technologie et de l’ordre international.

Pendant une grande partie du siècle dernier, les puissances occidentales ont joué un rôle prépondérant dans la définition de cet ordre. L’influence économique, technologique et diplomatique croissante de la Chine remet aujourd’hui cet équilibre en question.

Cet épisode s’interroge sur un éventuel déclin de l’influence occidentale. La Chine offre-t-elle une alternative, ou un ensemble différent de dépendances ? Et alors que les tensions autour de Taïwan, la guerre en Ukraine et la course à l’intelligence artificielle redessinent la géopolitique, des visions concurrentes de l’ordre mondial peuvent-elles coexister ?

Selon Wang, nous sommes « à la croisée des chemins », alors que l’ordre mondial passe « d’un monde unipolaire à un monde multipolaire ».

« Pourtant, le système multipolaire n’est pas encore en place. Je pense que la tâche considérable qui nous attend aujourd’hui consiste à amener les principaux acteurs à travailler ensemble », déclare-t-il.

Hilton met en garde contre toute réduction du débat à une opposition morale binaire. « Je pense vraiment que si nous considérons le monde comme étant divisé entre un camp qui incarne le bien et un autre le mal, nous ne rendons vraiment pas service au débat », affirme-t-elle.

Bertrand estime que les différences entre la Chine et l’Occident ne sont pas nécessairement irréconciliables. « Nous devons trouver un moyen de coexister et de nous accepter mutuellement dans nos différences », déclare-t-il.

Ávila porte son regard au-delà des grandes puissances, espérant voir émerger « une configuration différente de pays — un peu à l’image de ce qu’a été autrefois le Mouvement des non-alignés — qui pourrait avoir suffisamment de poids pour contenir les puissants ».

La nouvelle saison du podcast explore la manière dont les changements culturels, sociaux et politiques façonnent nos identités, en abordant un large éventail de sujets, notamment le droit international ; l’état actuel du journalisme, du travail et de la parentalité ; les technologies émergentes ; ainsi que l’héritage des guerres et des empires.

« La Chine ou l’Occident conduira-t-il le monde vers l’avenir ? » est disponible sur les plateformes de podcasts, YouTube et DohaDebates.com. De nouveaux épisodes seront diffusés chaque semaine.

À propos

Doha Debates rassemble une avant-garde d’esprits intellectuellement curieux en quête de vérité afin de débattre de leurs divergences de manière constructive et de contribuer à bâtir un avenir meilleur. Nous privilégions l’unité plutôt que la division, en encourageant des conversations qui nous rapprochent plutôt que de nous éloigner.

Doha Debates Podcast Returns for a New Season Exploring the Ideas Shaping Our World

 Doha, Qatar - Wednesday, 23. September 2026

The 20-episode season, launched September 22, builds on questions raised in flagship debates and global town halls through long-form conversations.

 

Qatar Foundation’s Doha Debates has launched a new season of the Doha Debates Podcast, with 20 episodes airing weekly through February 16, 2027. The series brings leading global thinkers together to debate some of the world’s most complex and challenging issues.

The podcast carries forward themes from its flagship debates and town halls through long-form conversations, reflecting Doha Debates’ commitment to open, truth-seeking dialogue exploring global issues with depth, nuance and respect for diverse perspectives.

The opening episode, “Will China or the West lead the world into the future?” moderated by Soraya Salam, brings together Renata Ávila, CEO of the Open Knowledge Foundation; Arnaud Bertrand, entrepreneur; Isabel Hilton, visiting professor at the Lau China Institute, King's College, London; and Henry Wang, founder and president of the Center for China and Globalization, to examine the contest over influence, technology and the international order.

For much of the past century, Western powers played an outsized role in shaping that order. China’s growing economic, technological and diplomatic influence is challenging that balance.

This episode asks whether Western influence is in decline. Does China offer an alternative, or a different set of dependencies? And with tensions over Taiwan, the war in Ukraine and the race for artificial intelligence reshaping geopolitics, can competing visions of global order coexist?

Wang says we are “at a crossroads” as the global order shifts “from a unipolar world to a multipolar world.”

“Yet the multipolar system is not there. I think right now, the daunting task is that we have to get the major players to work together,” he says.

Hilton cautions against reducing the debate to a moral binary. “I do think that if we regard the world as one side good, the other side bad, we’re really not serving the conversation,” she says.

Bertrand argues that the differences between China and the West need not be irreconcilable. “We need to find a way to coexist and to accept each other as others,” he says.

Ávila looks beyond major powers, hoping to see “a different configuration of countries—a little like the Non-Aligned Movement did back in the days—that could have enough weight to tame the powerful.”

The new podcast season explores how cultural, social and political change shapes our identities, covering a range of topics including international law; the state of journalism, work and parenting; emerging technologies and the legacy of wars and empires.

“Will China or the West lead the world into the future?” is available across podcast platforms, YouTube and DohaDebates.com. New episodes follow weekly.
