Selected Meetings Under the theme “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age”, nearly 3,000 leaders from more than 130 countries – including around 60 heads of state and government – came together to generate insights and advance solutions on the economy, technological and geopolitical transformations and sustainability imperatives. Notable participants included António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General; Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission; Ding Xuexiang, Vice-Premier of the People’s Republic of China; Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa and Chair of the G20; Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain; Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany; Javier Milei, President of Argentina; Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine; Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia and Chair of ASEAN; and Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, who joined virtually. The state of the world’s economy was a central theme. Leaders acknowledged geoeconomic uncertainties while also highlighting signs of resilience over the past three years. They stressed that international unity and cooperation are vital to greater resilience. Many leaders also emphasized the importance of multilateralism and urged the development of new models of trade to ensure widespread prosperity, while cautioning that isolationism would undermine stability. The focus on Intelligent Age technologies underscored innovation’s important role. Participants noted that advances in AI, quantum computing and biotech could boost productivity and improve public services and called for strong governance frameworks – including public-private collaboration – to harness these tools responsibly. The Forum released key flagship reports, such as the Global Cooperation Barometer , the Global Risks Report , the Chief Economists Outlook, and the Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024 in the run-up to the meeting, which informed the deliberations in Davos.
