Rewiring the Economy: What the FGS Global Radar Means for Chicago Leaders

Hosted by the Chicagoland Chamber’s Chicago Business Insights Forum

The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce’s Chicago Business Insights Forum will convene.

Join senior executives for the Chicago and Business Insights Forum debut of FGS Global Radar 2026, the first global edition to include U.S. insights, presented in partnership with BMO. The Radar highlights a world undergoing significant political, economic, technological, and social shifts—revealing evolving public sentiment and changing institutional dynamics that leaders should understand as they navigate what’s next.

In a moment when business leaders are navigating everything from geopolitical uncertainty to rapid technological disruption, the Radar offers a data‑driven blueprint for understanding how global forces are reshaping local realities, and what that means for Chicago’s competitiveness in the decade ahead.

A panel featuring FGS Global leaders will unpack what these global shifts mean for Chicago and the Midwest: from transactional geopolitics and splintered alliances to workforce dynamics, capital flows, and the regulatory environment.

This conversation will explore what Chicago must do now to remain a magnet for talent, capital, and innovation, and how organizations can anticipate the opportunities and risks that will define the next era of economic leadership.
