The World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026 is currently taking place in Davos, Switzerland, from January 19 to 23. The gathering, themed 'A Spirit of Dialogue,' convenes global leaders from government, business, and civil society to address pressing world challenges. European Union leaders, including EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron, are prominent speakers, discussing critical issues facing the continent and the world. Their addresses come amidst a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions largely influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's presence. Trump is set to deliver a speech and participate in events, leading the largest U.S. delegation ever to attend the WEF. His controversial stance on acquiring Greenland and subsequent threats of imposing tariffs on eight European nations, including Denmark, for opposing his bid, has profoundly 'rocked the global order.' Denmark has notably opted out of attending the forum due to this escalating feud. The forum's agenda focuses on stimulating growth, responding to geopolitical shocks, fostering a just energy transition, deploying innovation, and building prosperity within planetary boundaries. The WEF's Global Risks Report 2026 highlights 'geo-economic confrontation' as the top global risk, while for India, cybersecurity and income inequality are identified as leading concerns. India is showcasing a robust presence at Davos, with Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, and over 100 CEOs aiming to attract global investments. States like Maharashtra and Telangana have already signed significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) for investment commitments. The discussions underline the urgent need for international cooperation amidst a fragmented and uncertain global landscape.
