ISSUER 2050: A New Conversation on the Future of Public Companies

What will public companies look like in 2050? Who will own them? Who will lead them?

At ISSUER 2050, we’re just beginning to explore these questions - and we believe the conversation starts today. This isn't just another newsletter. It’s a living conversation - one that will evolve each week, shaped by the insights of professionals actively defining the future of corporate leadership.

How It Works
Every week after launch, a new thought leader will share a short, compelling piece on an urgent issue facing public companies. From shareholder activism and AI-driven governance to the evolving role of boards and the tension between profitability and purpose.

But here’s the twist: Each contributor nominates the next.
This keeps the conversation fresh, surprising, and truly network-driven, amplifying a wide range of perspectives from around the world.

Why This Conversation Matters?
Public companies don’t exist in isolation.
They are shaped daily by investors, regulators, employees, communities, and broader societal expectations.

ISSUER 2050 will be the place where these forces come together - not in theory, but through the real-world experiences of people shaping the economy’s future.

What to Expect

Our content will focus primarily (but not exclusively) on areas like:

• Corporate Governance & Ethics

• Future of Stakeholder Capitalism

• AI-Driven Leadership

• Sustainable Innovation & Tech for Good

• Public Companies & Climate Resilience

• Inclusive Leadership & Future Talent

• Impact Investing & Finance for Growth

One topic. One perspective. One week at a time.
