The 2025 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) takes place from 20-24 January in Davos, Switzerland. Here’s a look at what can be expected at this year’s meeting.
Davos is welcoming global leaders for the World Economic Forum 2025 this week with the meeting convening under the title Collaboration for the Intelligent Age. Discussions will span geo-economic uncertainty, AI, reimagining growth and safeguarding the planet, among other topics.
Some 3,000 leaders are expected to attend from over 130 countries. Around 350 governmental leaders, including 60 heads of states and government, from all key regions, will also be in the mountain resort.
“If the gulf between hopes and fears was in stark evidence last year, the context for Davos 2025 is no less conflicted. Geo-economic uncertainty, trade tensions, cultural polarisation, and climate anxiety are rumbling but there’s also the promise of rapid innovation – AI, quantum computing and biotech – to boost productivity and living standards,” a WEF press release noted.
