2026 Themes

Frameworks have been written. Regulations have been drafted. Pilot projects have been launched. The Middle Corridor is moving goods at record levels. What it needs now is the financial infrastructure to move capital with the same efficiency.

The 2026 Summit theme Building Regional Economic Corridors is rooted in a straightforward premise: the work of the last three years, VASP regulation, open banking mandates, CBDC research, AI governance, has produced a foundation. The question now is what it takes to build on it.
