Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — At a moment when the world is rethinking how progress is achieved, the 2026 RLC Global Forum has presented its thematic framework, “Growth Crossroads,” and will convene in Riyadh under this overarching vision.
The Forum will explore six defining themes that capture the transformation reshaping global trade, consumption, and leadership:
- Growth in a Reordered World
- AI and the Power of Multipliers
- The Global South as Growth Engine
- Experience as Growth Infrastructure
- The Future Consumer Order
- Leadership Beyond Resilience
As the world’s economic and cultural gravity continues to shift, Riyadh stands at the intersection of transformation by connecting East and West, tradition and innovation, and providing the ideal stage for this global dialogue.
The Forum’s launch coincides with the announcement of two strategic partnerships with Cenomi Centers and Panda Retail Company, highlighting Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a driving force in the global growth narrative.
“From Riyadh, a new conversation begins,” said Panos Linardos, Chairman of RLC Global Forum. “By anchoring our 2026 year-round growth agenda and aligning with visionary partners like Cenomi Centers and Panda Retail Company, we reflect a broader truth: the next decade of prosperity will be defined by collaboration between emerging and established markets.”
