World Economic Forum annual meeting January 20-24th will see the annual meeting of over 2,500 delegates to the Swiss ski town of Davos. For those 5 days Davos will enjoy global focus as Governments, Non-Profits and Business connect and exchange ideas. Creating the opportunity to build connectivity and deepen relationships and share thinking and ideas.
For Global Sourcing companies facing the new paradigm of an approaching period of Protectionism, Tariffs and Geo-Political uncertainty, the opportunity for increased dialogue can only be positive. As relationships are forged to mitigate supply chain risk, build stronger relationships and contribute to reducing global trading turmoil.
The theme for Davos is “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age.” The program will be oriented around five interconnected priorities:
- Reimagining growth. Given today’s geopolitical and economic realities, policy makers will need to look toward new sources of growth for the future.
- Industries in the intelligent age. Technology is now the primary driver of change and disruption across business sectors.
- Investing in people. Technological advancements have created the need to reskill and upskill people to meet the demands of tomorrow’s economy.
- Safeguarding the planet. Partnerships and dialogues that enable investment and deployment of new climate technologies are critical to making progress on global climate and nature-related goals.
- Rebuilding trust. As the pace of change accelerates, societal divides have deepened as people around the world seek to reaffirm their identities.
All eyes will be on Davos in January to read any positive signs that could lead to a reduction in uncertainly for business with extended supply chains.
