One of the most impactful trends in 2025 is the rise of global professional networks. These communities are giving firms the platform to:

- Building cross-border service capabilities
- Investing in global brand positioning
- Aligning with global disclosure and sustainability frameworks (IFRS S2, GRI, ISSB)
