Paris, France, May 5, 2025
Amundi will host the next edition of the Amundi World Investment Forum on June 26th and 27th in Paris, one of the must-attend events to decipher major global economic trends and their investment implications.
More than 800 experts from finance, business, politics and economic research are expected to attend the 15th edition of the event, which will bring together participants from over 80 countries.
In recent years, the Amundi World Investment Forum has welcomed distinguished speakers such as Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister, Hillary Clinton, former US Secretary of State, Mario Draghi, former Italian Prime Minister and former President of the European Central Bank, and Daron Acemoglu, co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.
The 2025 edition will feature new high-level experts who will share their insights on a world in transformation. The Forum will notably welcome:
- Antony J. Blinken, 71st US Secretary of State
- Enrico Letta, former Prime Minister of Italy (2013-2014)
- Cecilia Malmström, former European Commissioner for Trade (2014-2019)
“Since its creation in 2010, the Amundi World Investment Forum has become a flagship event where we offer our clients and partners in-depth analysis of major global issues. The world is set to undergo profound economic changes in 2025. Shifting balances generate volatility, new risks, but also new investment opportunities, with ongoing rotation across asset classes and geographies. In this context, we are delighted to welcome new internationally renowned figures to our annual event. Antony Blinken will focus on the reshaping of international relations, while Enrico Letta and Cecilia Malmstrom will share their vision on how Europe can better capitalize on its many assets to build a prosperous future” said Valérie Baudson, Chief Executive Officer of Amundi.
Entitled “Reboot in Progress”, this edition will address the impact of the new US administration, the levers available to Europe to realize its potential, how new geopolitical power dynamics will affect the growth of emerging countries, the challenges of financing the energy transition, and new models for managing savings and pensions.
These topics will notably be addressed by:

- Enrico Letta, Former Prime Minister of Italy
- James A. Robinson, 2024 Winner of Nobel Prize for Economics
