What Will Happen In 2017?
We ask our guests to predict who be the winners and losers in the year ahead. But that's not before we test how well they did at predicting what 2016 would have in store.
Find out what businesses, industries and technologies were winners and losers of 2016, and which ones will have a good or bad time in the year to come. In this special programme we reunite two guests, the Toronto-based consultant Ralph Silva and the journalist Jyoti Malhotra in Delhi, to find out if their predictions for 2016 were correct and what they think 2017 has in store. All their suggestions face the scrutiny of the futurologist Peter Cochrane and Mike Jakeman, global analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit in London.
