EY at the World Economic Forum

From 19 to 23 January at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, EY leaders will engage in critical discussions with global decision-makers. This year's theme, "A Spirit of Dialogue," underscores the necessity of collaboration in addressing the complex challenges facing our world today.

Can we shape the future with confidence if we're not shaping it together?

The forum will focus on five principal themes that reflect the urgent issues requiring collective action:

  • Cooperation in a contested world: Examining how public and private sectors can collaborate amidst geopolitical tensions.
  • Unlocking new sources of growth: Identifying innovative strategies to drive sustainable economic growth in a rapidly evolving landscape.
  • Better investment in people: Highlighting the significance of human capital and the impact of investing in our workforce.
  • Scaling innovation responsibly: Discussing the ethical implications of technological advancements and the importance of responsible innovation.
  • Building prosperity within planetary boundaries: Addressing the need for sustainable practices that promote economic prosperity while safeguarding our planet.

At the EY organization, we believe that shaping the future requires collaboration. Our participation in the World Economic Forum (WEF) is driven by the understanding that meaningful dialogue among leaders is essential to tackle global challenges.
