Vatican launches Borgo Dialogues

The Borgo Dialogues is a new global leadership platform bringing together leaders from business, finance, academia, faith, healthcare, and civil society to discuss urgent challenges.

First meeting in New York this week

The inaugural US gathering runs from September 20 to 23 on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, following a June meeting at Castel Gandolfo.

Focus on AI, healthcare, and dignity

Discussions address artificial intelligence, healthcare, sustainable development, and how decisions about technology and investment affect present and future generations.

“What are we building, for whom, and who will inherit it?”

Cardinal Baggio leads the initiative

Cardinal Fabio Baggio, Director General of the Laudato si' Centre for Higher Education, founded the Borgo Dialogues to create spaces where leaders can build trust and commit to upholding human dignity.

“We need spaces where leaders can engage difficult questions honestly, build trust across differences.”

Pope calls it a first step

Pope Leo XIV met with participants from the June gathering and described the Borgo Dialogues as a first step in renewing moral leadership in a fragmented world.

Ideas heading to Davos

Proposals emerging from the New York discussions are expected to be presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, amplifying the dialogues' impact.
