In Europe’s highest town, preparations are underway for the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting, which will take place 19-23 January 2026.
For more than 50 years, the meetings have sought to embody the ‘spirit of Davos’: an attitude of openness and productive collaboration. In a time of deepening global fragmentation, this year’s event will foreground that focus once more through its theme: ‘The Spirit of Dialogue’.
Driving this cross-sector collaboration is a diverse mix of voices - from public and private, North and South, established and emerging, as well as young leaders and world-renowned experts.
Here’s what you need to know about the meeting: who attends, what questions they will be addressing, and the numerous agreements, pacts and successes forged at Davos in the past.
