Welcome to Paris - a city that has given the world ideas, revolutions, and the vocabulary of modern citizenship.

It is a privilege to gather here to reflect on the future of global mobility, responsible investment, and the movement of people in an era defined by uncertainty and opportunity.

This year's Forum is framed around three words at the heart of the French Republic: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. We adopt this motto not as a slogan, but as a respectful framework and an invitation to ground our discussions in principles that transcend borders and politics, helping guide how investment migration evolves, competes, collaborates, and connects nations.
