The World Economic Forum (WEF) returns to Davos on Monday for its 55th Annual Meeting—the largest in WEF’s history—against a backdrop of unprecedented change and challenge. As leaders grapple with a new geopolitical order, disruptive technologies, economic uncertainty, and the energy transition, the need for collaboration and innovation has never been greater. What’s at the top of the agenda at Davos this year?
“Of course it’s AI transformation, but it’s also things like resilience and geopolitics, women’s health, climate tech, and even space tech,” says McKinsey senior partner and Davos delegate Kate Smaje. “They’re interesting topics as we begin to think about what collaboration in the intelligent age really looks like, and what it means for leaders and how they show up.”
