Future Resilience Forum 2026: New World Order, New World Thinking

The Future Resilience Forum (FRF) 2026 takes place on 16 and 17 November 2026 at The Pelligon in Canary Wharf, London, under the theme New World Order | New World Thinking.

FRF brings together leaders from government, academia and industry to work through the crises now challenging global security, and to shape strategies for a more resilient future. The premise is straightforward. The rules-based order that shaped security, trade and diplomacy for decades is fragmenting, and the institutions built for that order are being asked to respond to shocks that are faster, more interconnected and more contested than they were designed for.

Most governments and boardrooms now accept that resilience can no longer be an afterthought. Yet the ability to anticipate disruption, absorb it and adapt remains uneven. Some organisations read geopolitical signals early enough to reposition supply chains, secure critical inputs and protect decision-making. Others discover their exposure only once a conflict, a sanction regime or a technology restriction has already reshaped the market around them. FRF exists to close that gap. Its previous editions have convened heads of government, ministers, mediators and senior practitioners on questions ranging from international law and European cooperation to conflict mediation and security in the Middle East and the Sahel. Past Annual Lectures were delivered by Eric Holder and Cherie Blair CBE KC.

At KŌSE Advisory, we are pleased that our Founder and Chief Analyst, Koray Köse, will attend both days of the Forum. He will engage with policymakers, security leaders and industry partners on how the new world order is being written in practice.

Our interest in FRF follows the same line that runs through all of our work. Resilience is decided long before a crisis breaks, and much of it is decided outside traditional security institutions. It depends on industrial capacity, supply chain dependencies, access to critical technologies such as semiconductors and AI, and the robustness of the global value chains that economies and defence establishments rely on.

These are also the places where competitors and adversaries apply pressure first, through export controls, economic coercion, technology denial and the deliberate exploitation of single points of failure. In a multipolar world, geopolitics, technology and economics are no longer separate risk categories. They are one system, and they have to be read as one.

Drawing on experience across defence, high-tech and global value chains, Koray brings the GeoTech perspective to these conversations. That means asking how geopolitical signals become commercial and operational constraints, why resilience is as much an industrial and procurement question as a diplomatic one, and how leaders can build strategies that hold under pressure rather than only in stable conditions. Coming straight from the NATO C2COE Conference in Rotterdam, FRF gives us a chance to carry those discussions into a broader setting. We can connect the strategic, industrial and technological realities shaping security to the question at the heart of the Forum: how governments, institutions and industry can think differently enough, and early enough, to stay resilient in a world being reordered around them.
