Record participation at the WEF 2015

Is Europe Back?: Televised SessionBy Alec Hogg

Leaders of the world’s business, governments, and civil society will gather in Davos, Switzerland from January 21st for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. This will be the 44th time the alpine town hosts the event – it was held in New York in 2002, in solidarity after 9/11.

The WE says this year’s gathering brings together leadership from 140 countries. Around 1 500 of the 2 600 participants are C-Suite executives from the world’s Top 1 000 companies. This year more than 300 of the participants are from Government, most countries represented by their Prime Minister or President. As per normal, the heads of all the world’s major international organisations (IMF, World Bank, WTO etc) will be there while this year’s participants include 14 Nobel Laureates.

WEF Founder Klaus Schwab says: “Today’s leaders are facing challenges that are unprecedented in their complexity, velocity and interconnectedness. Finding a way to navigate these successfully in 2015 is, therefore, a critical priority for every leader, not just to ensure sustainable growth but to rebuild trust.

“The Annual Meeting, by bringing together the Forum’s diverse multi-stakeholder community, aims to provide the means to identify answers to these challenges as well as the coalitions of partners necessary to create positive, transformative change.”
With significant participation from all crisis-hit areas in the world, the Meeting will convene a number of official and unofficial dialogues to stimulate peace-making efforts.

The World Economic Forum, as the lead international institution for public-private cooperation, will launch 10 major multi-year initiatives such as infrastructure finance and the future of the global financial system.

The Co-Chairs of the Annual Meeting 2015 in alphabetical order, are: Hari S. Bhartia, Co-Chairman and Founder, Jubilant Bhartia Group, India; Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director, Oxfam International, United Kingdom; Katherine Garrett-Cox, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, Alliance Trust, United Kingdom; Young Global Leader Alumnus; Jim Yong Kim, President, The World Bank, Washington DC; Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman, Google, USA; and Roberto Egydio Setúbal, Chief Executive Officer and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, Itaú Unibanco, Brazil.
