Exploring the Theme of Davos 2025: What's Behind It?
The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2025 convenes approximately 3,000 global leaders, innovators, and thinkers from more than 130 countries. The theme for this year, Collaboration in the Intelligent Age, is particularly timely as we find ourselves at a crossroads of significant technological advancements, economic unpredictability, and a swiftly evolving climate. The urgent question posed here is: how do we collaborate to tackle these challenges?

Artificial intelligence is a primary focus this year. The global economy is experiencing a transformation, and AI holds the potential to drive growth, revolutionize industries, and enhance lives.

Reports published in anticipation of the forum indicate that by 2030, AI and other information-processing technologies will revolutionize 86% of businesses, leading to the emergence of 170 million new jobs globally.

In addition to its economic ramifications, AI presents remarkable opportunities to confront global issues. However, unlocking this potential hinges on establishing trust, ensuring transparency, and maintaining a commitment to inclusivity. Without these foundations, the intelligent age may deepen existing divisions.

Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, highlighted that amidst significant uncertainties and various viewpoints, this gathering promotes a spirit of constructive optimism.

This gathering transcends a mere conference; it serves as a clarion call for action. Collaboration in the Intelligent Age requires dismantling barriers, sharing resources, and fostering trust. The challenges we encounter—including geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation, and climate instability—are formidable. Nonetheless, the discussions taking place here demonstrate a collective understanding that collaboration is not merely desirable; it is essential for progress.
