World leaders from government, business, civil society and academia will convene in Davos to engage in forward-looking discussions to address global issues and set priorities. The programme will be structured around five key global challenges:

  • How can we cooperate in a more contested world?
  • How can we unlock new sources of growth?
  • How can we better in people?
  • How can we deploy innovation at scale and responsibility?
  • How can we build prosperity within planetary boundaries?

The annual meeting brings together public-private dialogue and cooperation, involving all stakeholders, is necessary for progress. In addressing these challenges, growth, resilience, and innovation will serve as cross- cutting imperatives, guiding how leaders engage with today’s complexity and pursue tomorrow’s opportunities.
