World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026

The 2026 Annual Meeting marked a return to Davos as a consequential forum for global leaders.

Amid geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological change and shifting economic assumptions, CEOs, policymakers and investors gathered not to restate known challenges, but to pressure-test priorities and compare views on what lies ahead.

Several clear signals emerged from the week. Leaders expressed confidence in global economic resilience while closely tracking U.S. policy direction following President Trump’s address. Artificial intelligence dominated conversations across industries, viewed as a powerful growth engine, but one that demands careful governance, while issues that once defined the Forum, including climate change, receded as attention shifted toward competitiveness and execution.

Throughout the week, Teneo was actively engaged in shaping these conversations, convening leaders and providing on-the-ground expertise at a moment of heightened complexity.
