The 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum convenes the foremost leaders from government, business and civil society from 19-23 January 2026.

Under the theme 'A Spirit of Dialogue', Davos 2026 provides an impartial platform to connect leaders to confront shared challenges and drive innovations defining the future.

Across sessions on geopolitics and growth, Davos will explore how cooperation can be renewed amid contested norms, strained alliances and eroding trust. New models of collaboration can unlock opportunity even as long-held assumptions about security, sovereignty and global integration are upended.

From navigating geopolitical risk and economic uncertainty to harnessing innovation, discussions will focus on practical, solutions-oriented pathways that support resilience, competitiveness and inclusive growth, including the responsible deployment of transformative technologies such as generative AI.

Equally central will be the human dimensions of transformation. As industries evolve and technologies reshape work, Davos will spotlight how governments and businesses can better invest in people, building resilient workforces, supporting skills transitions and improving well-being in an era of profound change. At the same time, leaders will examine how prosperity can be rebuilt within planetary boundaries, advancing secure energy, nature and water systems.

Bringing together nearly 3,000 participants from close to 130 countries, Davos 2026 reflects a uniquely diverse mix of sectors, industries, governments and generations, ensuring the breadth of perspectives needed for shared solutions. And through an open digital media experience, live-streamed sessions, extensive media participation and community engagement via Open Forum, the conversation extends far beyond Davos, with global audiences tuning in.
