The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2025 is set to bring together around 3,000 global leaders, innovators, and thinkers from over 130 countries. This year, the event centers on the theme Collaboration in the Intelligent Age, a timely focus as the world navigates massive technological shifts, economic uncertainty, and a rapidly changing climate.
Artificial intelligence is taking the spotlight, poised to drive growth, transform industries, and improve lives. Early reports suggest that by 2030, AI and other information-processing technologies will revolutionize 86% of businesses, potentially creating 170 million new roles worldwide.
Beyond economic impacts, AI presents extraordinary opportunities to tackle global challenges. However, unlocking this potential requires trust, transparency, and a commitment to inclusivity. Without these, the intelligent age could widen existing divides.
Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, emphasized that despite significant uncertainties and differing perspectives, the meeting embodies a spirit of constructive optimism.
This gathering is more than just a conference—it’s a call to action. Collaboration in the Intelligent Age urges the dismantling of barriers, the sharing of resources, and the building of trust. Faced with geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation, and climate instability, the discussions at Davos reflect a growing consensus that collaboration isn't optional; it's essential for moving forward.
