LONDON, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Switzerland is ranked the world’s most resilient country in the new Global Investment Risk and Resilience Index, with Denmark, Norway, Singapore, and Sweden completing the Top Five. The index is the first of its kind to measure countries’ exposure to geopolitical, economic, and climate risks as well as their capacity to adapt and recover, revealing how resilience is increasingly concentrated in smaller, highly adaptive states.

Developed by global residence and citizenship advisory firm Henley & Partners in partnership with the AI-powered analytics platform AlphaGeo, the index provides investors, families, and governments with a systematic framework to navigate a world of overlapping risks — from geopolitical conflict and inflation to technological disruption and climate change.

Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, Chairman of Henley & Partners, says “by combining risk exposure and resilience capacity into a single score, it identifies for investors, businesses and families the countries that are best placed to preserve wealth and generate long-term value, and it gives governments a benchmark to measure competitiveness.”

Switzerland ranks 1^st worldwide, driven by exceptionally low risk and world-leading innovation, governance, and social metrics. Close behind, the Nordic countries of Denmark (2^nd), Norway (3^rd), and Sweden (5^th) exemplify how equitable growth, robust institutions, and forward-looking social policy create world-leading resilience. Singapore takes 4^th place with the lowest legal and regulatory risk globally.  

South Sudan (226^th), Lebanon (225^th), Haiti (224^th), Sudan (223^rd), and Pakistan (222^nd) sit at the bottom of the index.

From the G7 to BRICS: Diverging Paths of Risk and Resilience

Applied to global investment conditions, the framework recognizes that exposure and preparedness should be treated as distinct yet equally important factors. As Dr. Parag Khanna, Founder and CEO of AlphaGeo, explains, “High risk is not always negative if matched by strong resilience, while high resilience can conceal vulnerabilities, especially in advanced economies now facing political or fiscal pressures. Adaptation is the new imperative. The societies most committed to building resilience — through innovation, governance, and climate preparedness — will attract investment, talent, and long-term growth.”

The G7 economies continue to stand out for their stability, balancing relatively low risk with strong resilience, led by Germany, which ranks 10^th globally, driven by climate readiness, economic complexity, and innovation. Germany is followed by Canada (13^th), the UK (23^rd), France (29^th), the US (32^nd), Japan (35^th), and Italy (48^th). Collectively, the G7 demonstrates how robust institutions and adaptive capacity anchor global economic influence.

Beyond the G7, China and Russia present somewhat contrasting profiles. China (49^th) is categorized as a Favorable Outlook investment destination, where moderate risk is offset by substantial resilience built on investment capacity and innovation strength. Russia (94^th), however, faces a more precarious position: although classified as high resilience, it is also high risk, driven by political instability and regulatory uncertainty, which places it in the Cautious Potential investment band.

Their BRICS counterparts, South Africa (145^th), Brazil (150^th), and India (155^th), exhibit moderate resilience weakened by elevated risks.

Strength Beyond Scale: Small States Showing Big Resilience 

Beyond the overall leaders, the index highlights standout performers across key parameters, with smaller nations continuing to shine. Luxembourg (6^th) and Finland (7^th) excel through transparent governance, climate resilience, and sustainable policies. They are joined by Greenland (8^th), the Netherlands (9^th), and Germany (10^th), underscoring that true resilience rests not on size or military might but on adaptability, strong institutions, and forward-looking innovation.

Just outside the Top 10, Iceland (11^th) and Liechtenstein (12^th) rank among the safest markets worldwide, combining exceptionally low risk with strong resilience. Canada (13^th) is classified as very low risk, driven by relatively subdued inflation, stable currency performance, and minimal physical climate risk, while Austria’s (14^th) resilience is propelled by its social progress, climate resilience, and economic complexity. Estonia (15^th) and Ireland (17^th) are distinguished by robust governance and social progress, while New Zealand (18^th) sets a global benchmark for governance and regulatory quality. South Korea (25^th) demonstrates world-class adaptive capacity, with prowess in economic complexity and innovation, while Czechia (16^th) and Slovenia (22^nd) emerge as prime European markets, defined by their economic sophistication and complexity.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — “We demonstrated strength in the third quarter with significant organic growth, improved profitability and cash flow despite impacts from tariffs and negative currency effects,” says Mattias Perjos, President & CEO, Getinge. The medtech company’s net sales increased organically by 9,5% while order intake rose by 4,7% organically.

Acute Care Therapies continued to meet the higher demand for ventilators, in the wake of an ongoing market consolidation. Order intake and sales of ECLS consumables were also significant. Both Life Science and Surgical Workflows set sales records for the third quarter, mainly due to persistently robust growth in Sterile Transfer and a strong demand for operating tables.

One year has now passed since Paragonix became part of Getinge and the company is included organically from September.

“It is encouraging to see the organization’s success at conducting business and we now look forward to increasing the pace of expansion initiated in selected markets outside the U.S.,” says Mattias Perjos, President & CEO.

During the quarter, Getinge got the CE Mark back for the intra-aortic balloon pump Cardiosave, and deliveries are expected to resume in the fourth quarter.

“Recently, also our Advanta V12 balloon expandable covered stent received approval for three further indications, which is key to strengthening our position in the European market,” Perjos explains.

Adjusted EBITA increased in the quarter, despite tariff costs and currency effects totaling SEK -236 M compared with last year. Getinge’s price adjustment strategy remains successful, but short term the medtech company needs to absorb a large share of the tariff costs.

“However, intensified efforts to improve cost efficiency and boost productivity are generating results and in general, we are successful at keeping material cost development under control,” says Perjos. “We are essentially well positioned to manage the geopolitical challenges by leveraging our leading position in key niches that meet long-term increasing healthcare needs. Considering the tariff levels to date, we have chosen to reiterate our financial target.”

The medtech company is now entering the last quarter of the year with tough comparative figures.

“I would like to thank all our customers and employees for their important efforts that creates value for clinical staff and patients,” says Perjos.

July-September 2025 in brief

• Net sales increased organically by 9.5% (0.2) and the order intake rose by 4.7% organically (7.4).
• Adjusted gross profit amounted to SEK 4,051 M (3,799) and the margin was 49.2% (48.3).

SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LingoAce has been named to the 2026 GSV 150, earning milestone recognition as one of the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills—marking the third time the company has received this honor.

Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.

By sector, 53% of the GSV 150 serve K-12, followed by 43% workforce learning, 37% higher education, 15% adult consumer learning, and 3% early childhood; a third of the companies stretch across multiple “PreK to Gray” sectors. Most of the 2026 companies are based in North America (60% in the U.S. and 4% in Canada), with significant representation from Europe (14%), India (9%), and China (6%). Year to date, the GSV 150 companies have raised over $5.5 billion across venture capital, private equity, private debt, and IPO proceeds.
