Commenting on the Annual Meeting programme, Ged Davis, Managing Director and Head of the Centre for Strategic Insight at the World Economic Forum, said, “It is imperative that we learn how to unleash our creative potential to tackle the world's problems. The assumptions, tools and frameworks that business, government and civil society leaders have employed to make decisions over the past decade appear in need of renewal. To successfully meet the challenges we face will require an extraordinary collective response. At the centre of the response will be a greater emphasis on human imagination, innovation and creativity. If leaders in business, politics, multinational institutions and civil society are to remain effective and credible they must learn how best to adopt new policy designs and innovative approaches.”
This year sees the highest level of top business participants with 735 of those attending at the CEO or Chairman level – the highest ever. Noting the strong business participation this year, Peter Torreele, Managing Director at the World Economic Forum, said, “Business is always strongly represented at the Annual Meeting at Davos – but in terms of the quality and geographical representation of attendees this is the best ever year. More than 730 chairmen and CEOs from the world's leading companies will take active part in the discussions, coming from over 70 countries. This year there is a particularly strong Asian representation. Once again, the Annual Meeting will allow business to play a key role in shaping the global agenda.”
