Why this matters now

Global FDI rose 6% to USD 1.6 trillion in 2025, but the top 20 host economies attracted more than 80% of inflows. This is a significant global signal for leaders responsible for licensing and royalty design: the costs of delayed decisions, fragmented data and reactive management are rising as AI changes the speed of competition. This programme focuses specifically on the Royalty Economy, connecting these external pressures to the choices senior business leaders must make about capital, customers, talent and competitive positioning.

The executive agenda examines how designing territory rights, royalties and scalable agreements. Participants distinguish genuine market signals from hype, evaluate where existing operating models underperform and explore the economic, technological and organisational constraints on change. The emphasis is on decisions that can be tested, funded and implemented, rather than technology demonstrations without commercial outcomes.

Working through cross-sector scenarios, participants assess opportunity size, data readiness, execution risks and stakeholder incentives. Applied AI tools support diagnosis, forecasts, option comparison and prescriptive recommendations, with critical human review. Each participant develops a concise 90-day action roadmap, performance indicators and an executive presentation suitable for management or board discussion.
