Highlights from the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, January 2025

Discover how tech powers intelligence.

In January 2025, leaders from business, government and civil society convened at the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF 2025) in Davos, Switzerland, in search of solutions to critical global challenges. The event theme, Collaboration for the intelligent age was oriented around five distinct but highly interconnected priorities: Rebuilding trust, reimagining growth, investing in people, safeguarding the planet, and industries in the intelligent age. As a WEF strategic partner and global industry leader, we took part in those critical conversations.

Intelligence, meet enterprise.

In the midst of growing technological convergence, where hybrid AI meets R&D and design meets data, we believe intelligent collaboration will deliver true impact and value for all. As leaders convened to address key global and regional challenges at Davos 2025, we showcased the surprising connections that will fuel an age of transformative innovation and prioritize progress over polarization.

Highlights from the conversation: Lift-off for tech interdependence?

Some of the most high-profile conversations were shared by live stream from the Congress Center – such as a public session with Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat: “Lift-off for tech interdependence?”

The session proved to be a real eye-opener. Speakers explored how the technology ecosystem – spanning robotics, quantum computing, AI, biotechnology, and more, was rapidly evolving. They emphasized that the growing interdependence of these technologies offered immense opportunities but also introduced complex challenges.

Panelists from Qualcomm, Sony Group Corporation, and Haas School of Business posed a critical question: How can we pave the way for unprecedented growth and innovation in an increasingly interconnected future?
