Decoding global strategic shifts with Thierry Burkhard

Just days before the G7 summit in France, TANGRAM had the honor of welcoming General Thierry Burkhard, former Chief of the Defence Staff of the French Armed Forces (2021–2025) and National Delegate of the Order of the Liberation.

Watch the replay here.

In a world marked by polycrisis, intensifying power dynamics and the rapid transformation of international balances, he shared his analysis of the major strategic shifts reshaping our environment.

Among the key takeaways:

• The return of force as a tool of power
• A shifting global order under pressure
• Information and AI as tools of influence
• Climate change accelerating crises

His message was clear: there will be no return to the past. In the face of a permanently transformed environment, inaction can sometimes prove more risky than action.

A reflection that resonates strongly with the ambition of the TANGRAM Talks: providing insights into the major transformations shaping our world and helping everyone better anticipate them.
