Davos 2026: World Leaders To Gather As Global Economy Faces Geopolitical And Trade Uncertainty

Global leaders have gathered in Davos for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting amid the most complex geopolitical environment since 1945. Despite rising political tensions and slower trade growth, the global economy remains resilient, with growth expected to exceed 3% this year. The focus this year is on the “Spirit of Dialogue,” as collaboration is seen as essential to address challenges such as economic recovery, cybercrime, pandemics, and trade uncertainty. With more than 3,000 participants from 130 countries - including 64 heads of state and government and 1,700 business leaders - this is one of the most diverse and high-level gatherings ever. Leaders are also discussing how frontier technologies and global cooperation can help revive growth and stability.
