Delphi Economic Forum

Toronto will once again become a meeting point for Canada and Greece as the 5th Annual Delphi Economic Forum Toronto takes place on Monday, October 19, 2026, at the Omni King Edward Hotel.

As geopolitical, economic and technological shifts continue to reshape the global landscape, this year’s Forum will bring together politicians, policymakers, academics and entrepreneurs to exchange perspectives, build connections and turn dialogue into actionable insights.

For the fifth consecutive year, Delphi Economic Forum in partnership with The Hellenic Initiative Canada will strengthen Canada-Greece, exploring shared opportunities and shaping the future of our bilateral relationship.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors for helping bring this important dialogue to life. 🙏

Join leading voices from both countries for a dialogue focused on stronger ties and new opportunities.

"The West is not a concept that is endlessly exportable."

What do we really mean when we talk about "the West"?

In Delphi Opinions, George Varouxakis, Professor of the History of Political Thought at Queen Mary University of London and author of The West: The History of an Idea, explores how one of the world's most influential political concepts has evolved—and why its meaning is more contested than ever.

Against the backdrop of shifting global alliances, the war in Ukraine, and the rise of alternative political models, he examines whether it still makes sense to speak of "Western values" and what the future holds for the idea of the West in an increasingly multipolar world.

Two roundtables. Two critical questions. One afternoon of dialogue in New York. 🇺🇸

On the occasion of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, the Delphi Economic Forum brought together leading voices from diplomacy, international institutions, academia and business for two high-level Roundtable Discussions addressing some of the defining challenges facing Europe and global leadership today.

“Building Resilience: European Competitiveness and Strategic Autonomy in an Age of Complexity” explored how Europe can strengthen its competitiveness, resilience and strategic autonomy in an increasingly complex global environment.

Later that day, “Disrupting Yourself: Can Incumbents Lead the Transitions They Are Expected to Resist?” shifted the conversation to transformation, asking whether established institutions and businesses can lead the very changes they are often expected to resist.

Together, the two discussions created space for open exchange, diverse perspectives and forward-looking thinking on the choices shaping Europe’s future and a rapidly changing global landscape.

Both Roundtable Discussions were organized with the kind support of Philip Morris International.

When global leaders gather, dialogue matters.

As Programming Partner of the 2026 Concordia Annual Summit, the Delphi Economic Forum proudly contributed to one of the Summit's key geopolitical discussions.

Symeon G. Tsomokos, our Founder & President, moderated the high-level discussion "Southeast Europe as a Beacon of Stability," bringing together Hristijan Mickoski, President of the Government of North Macedonia, and მაკა ბოჭორიშვილი / Maka Botchorishvili, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, to explore the region's role as a vital anchor of geopolitical stability, energy security, and strategic cooperation in Europe.

The discussion highlighted Southeast Europe's increasing strategic significance and underscored the Delphi Economic Forum's commitment to bringing together world leaders and decision-makers to foster dialogue, strengthen partnerships, and advance meaningful solutions to global challenges.

"We are living through multiple overlapping revolutions."

Historian and bestselling author Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at the University of Oxford, argues that understanding today's world requires looking beyond traditional Western narratives.

For Delphi Opinions, he reflects on the return of imperial thinking, the shifting balance of global power, and why the twenty-first century will be shaped by the networks connecting Asia with the rest of the world. As technological, geopolitical, environmental, medical, and demographic transformations unfold simultaneously, he explains why our era is defined not only by uncertainty—but by unprecedented change.

"What happens when AI doesn't just write for us—but reads for us too?"

As artificial intelligence becomes an increasingly common writing companion, Naomi S. Baron, Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at American University, turns the conversation in a different direction.

In Delphi Opinions, she explores how delegating reading to AI may reshape not only the way we process information, but also how we think, learn, and make sense of the world. Drawing on her latest book, Reader Bot, Baron examines what we stand to gain—and what we risk losing—as AI takes on an ever-larger role in our intellectual lives.
