2025 Lauder Global Business Insight Report: Transforming Fractures for a Thriving Tomorrow

The 2025 Lauder Global Business Insight Report is now available! This year’s report, written by first-year Lauder students in the Class of 2026, explores the myriad ways in which nations, institutions, and individuals are tackling some of society’s most pressing and complex problems.

The report highlights that while the world may appear as a fractured mosaic, these very fault lines present opportunities for innovation and collaboration.

In this series of 23 articles, delve into the role of Venezuelan immigrants in Colombia’s gig economy, the challenges of Taiwan’s renewable energy transition, how Afrobeats is driving economic growth, what the US can learn from Romania’s electric vehicle market, and much more.

The Global Business Insight Report is the culmination of firsthand interviews, site visits, observations, and research conducted during Lauder students’ summer immersion—a core component of the Institute’s two-year Master’s in International Studies degree.
