Lausanne, Switzerland, 20–22 April 2026.

Alkagesta is participating in the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026 in Lausanne, Switzerland, one of the most prominent gatherings of senior commodity trading executives and industry leaders. The company is represented by CFO Orkhan Zeynalli and Pierre Gay, Member of the Board.

The summit brings together commodity trading CEOs, policymakers, and market participants for high-level discussions on the forces reshaping global trade flows. This year’s edition takes place against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tension and market volatility, with key themes including:

  • Shifts in global alliances and the impact of tariffs, sanctions, and de-dollarisation on energy and commodity markets
  • Supply chain resilience and how traders are adapting to manage unpredictable disruptions across key logistics corridors
  • Market volatility, finance, and technology, including the role of AI-driven analytics and evolving financing models in reshaping risk and liquidity in commodity trading
  • Changing energy supply relationships, including deepening ties between major producers and how these are influencing global pricing and supply dynamics

Alkagesta’s participation reflects its commitment to staying at the forefront of global commodity market developments and engaging with the conversations that shape the trading environment in which the company operates.
