ABOUT DAVOS ASSEMBLY

An independent platform.
A wider view.

Davos Assembly connects people working on global questions with experience from across business, policy and society.

18–22 January 2027 · Davos-Klosters, Switzerland

OUR PURPOSE

Global questions need
more than one perspective.

Investment decisions influence health and livelihoods. Technology changes how organisations work. Public policy shapes the conditions for innovation. The Assembly creates room to explore these connections together.

Convened in Davos-Klosters during Davos Week, it brings together people from business, government, civil society, academia and entrepreneurship. Participation is curated around the experience, expertise and questions each person can contribute.

Ten programme themes provide the starting point, including TEDxDavosPlatz: Invisible Bridges. Conversations, TEDx talks, roundtables and direct exchange help participants examine practical approaches and build relationships around their work.

OUR APPROACH

Thoughtful dialogue.
Practical relevance.

Three commitments guide how the Assembly brings people and perspectives together.

01

Bring different perspectives together

Questions about capital, health, technology and public life cross sectors and borders. We make space for people with different responsibilities to listen to one another and examine those questions together.

02

Make room for substantive dialogue

Curated conversations and smaller roundtables give participants time to share practical experience, ask questions and engage with different views. Contribution matters alongside expertise.

03

Connect ideas with practice

We encourage participants to connect the discussion with the decisions, institutions and communities they work with, and to explore where shared interests could lead to collaboration.
