Tech-Enabled Resilience

We invest in

Building a robust future to navigate digitization

Digitization is the backbone of our hyper-connected world, powering work, learning, and vital services. While we enjoy the benefits of cloud platforms and real-time analytics, each layer of connectivity introduces new vulnerabilities. Cybercrime costs the global economy over USD 10 trillion annually, and data protection regulations grow more complex. Fragile healthcare infrastructures face surging demand. Unchecked, these threats can cascade through organizations, industries, and even entire societies.

Tech-enabled resilience is essential to meet the challenges we face. Proactive defense identifies threats early, automated compliance eliminates manual gaps, flaws and delays, and adaptive recovery keeps critical services operational. In a world where digital disruptions are inevitable, resilience is mission-critical.

Thematic reports

Investing in cybersecurity

What are the challenges

Risk and vulnerabilities

USD 10.5tn global cost of cyber crime to society (2025)

4-6% of global GDP lost annually due to work-related health issues (2025)

Today’s estimated cost of cyberattacks is an alarming USD 10.5tn – only surpassed by the GDP of the US and China. At the same time, work-related health issues silently erode both economic productivity and human well-being

Global disruptions

1,968% change in the World Trade Uncertainty Index from Aug 24 to Aug 25

63% supply chains in fragile state

Geopolitical tensions have triggered a staggering 1,968% spike in the WTUI—65% higher than the COVID peak—while 63% of global supply chains remain in a fragile state, exposing companies and economies to unprecedented risk

Unsustainableresource demand

+2x electricity demand by 2050

+22% of the EU population is >65 years old (2025)

Global electricity demand will double, aging populations will require more care, and resource shortfalls will intensify—making it urgent to rethink how we produce, consume, and invest across industrial systems
