The World Economic Forum is all set to hold its Annual Meeting 2022 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from 22 to 26 May, the Geneva-based group announced on Friday.

The Annual Meeting 2022, returning to Davos-Klosters after a two-year hiatus, will be the first global in-person leadership event since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic.

It is going to offer world leaders an opportunity to take stock of the state of the world and shape partnerships and policies for the crucial period ahead.

Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum, said: “After all the virtual meetings taking place in the last two years, leaders from politics, business and civil society have to convene finally in person again. We need to establish the atmosphere of trust that is truly needed to accelerate collaborative action and to address the multiple challenges we face.”

Moreover, the forum will continue to communicate closely with the Swiss government on the public health situation in Switzerland.

Topics on the agenda will touch upon the pandemic recovery, climate change, building a better future for work, accelerating stakeholder capitalism, and harnessing the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
