This conference is a collaboration between the University of Applied Sciences in Security and Safety, the Paris School of Management, and the Swiss School of Business and Management Geneva.
The aim of the International Conference on Business and Integral Security – IBIS conference- is to bring together thought leaders, policymakers, industry experts, academics, and innovators to explore the intersection of digital transformation and sustainable development.
Our end goal is to provide a meaningful contribution to the academic and scientific community by sharing knowledge and insights through an innovative and interactive online community-building approach.
The main objective of the conference is to explore the growing connection between energy security, international stability, and business resilience in a world shaped by geopolitical tensions, digital transformation, and climate transition.
Recent disruptions affecting key energy routes have demonstrated how regional instability can rapidly influence global supply chains, inflation, financial markets, consumer prices, and strategic decision-making.
The conference invites scholars, policymakers, business leaders, and security experts to examine how organizations and governments can respond to energy shocks, strengthen international cooperation, protect critical infrastructure, and build more resilient and sustainable economic systems.
The conference aims to provide a platform to its attendees to share their knowledge and experience in the context of changing Business and Economics globally. Lively working sessions will be organized.
IBIS 2026 will take place on November 19th and 20th 2026, from 09am-5pm CET.
The conference will be online.
IBIS 2026 will bring together researchers from different fields including Information Systems (IS), AI/ML, interdisciplinary fields, Integral Security, Information Security (IS), etc.
IBIS 2026 aims at exploring how digital technologies—AI, big data, IoT, blockchain, and more—can drive sustainable development, circular economies, and equitable progress. It will serve as a platform to discuss strategies, share best practices, and forge partnerships that drive inclusive economic growth, environmental sustainability, and technological advancement over the next decade.
