The New Gravity of Power from Washington to the Gulf
The global media and knowledge landscape is transforming rapidly, where viral moments now move markets, influence policy, and reshape narratives in real time. At this moment, BRIDGE Summit convenes leaders from across media, policy, finance, and technology to restore trust, transparency, and resilience in the context of digital sensation. This session examines a key axis of that shift: the rise of disruptive alliances like Elon Musk’s “America Party,” and the Gulf’s growing role as a diplomatic force in a multipolar world. Together, these trends mark the rise of new geopolitical centers, transcending borders, amplifying soft power, and wielding digital influence.
