World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2027 in Davos
The 57th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting takes place from 18 to 22 January 2027 at the Kongresszentrum Davos in Switzerland. More than 3,000 leaders from government, business, international organisations, civil society, academia and media will be there. For five days, Davos-Klosters becomes the world’s leading venue for public-private collaboration, at a moment when that collaboration is under more strain than at any point in a generation. The agenda reflects the pressures leaders are carrying into the room: an uneven global economic recovery, shifting geopolitical dynamics in an increasingly multipolar world, and technological change that is moving faster than the institutions meant to govern it.
Most leaders now accept that these forces can no longer be managed in isolation. Yet the ability to act on that understanding remains uneven. Some governments and companies already treat geopolitics, AI and economic resilience as one connected strategic question. They read signals early, secure their dependencies and turn disruption into position. Others still handle each as a separate briefing, and only discover how tightly they are linked when a sanction, an export control or a supply shock forces the issue. The 2027 agenda engages that gap directly. It is built around geopolitics in a multipolar world, the governance of artificial intelligence, economic resilience and inclusivity, and public-private responses to the energy transition and planetary boundaries.
At KŌSE Advisory, we are proud that our Founder and Chief Analyst, Koray Köse, will attend the Annual Meeting as an official delegate, joining in partnership with Exiger. As a member of the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network, Koray will take part in conversations across the week on the forces now shaping global security, markets and value chains.
The common thread is that the defining questions on this year’s agenda don’t sit in separate silos. The governance of AI is a geopolitical question, because access to compute, semiconductors and critical minerals is concentrated, contested and increasingly used as leverage. Economic resilience is a value chain question, because growth depends on supply networks that are being redrawn by tariffs, sanctions, export controls and strategic competition. Even the energy transition is an industrial and security question, shaped by who controls the inputs and the manufacturing capacity behind it. In a world of multipolar chaos, these are no longer distinct risk categories. They are one system, and the organisations that read them as one will be the ones that stay ahead.
Drawing on experience across defence, high-tech and global value chains, Koray brings the GeoTech perspective to Davos. That means looking at how geopolitical signals become commercial and operational constraints, how technological dependency turns into strategic exposure, and why resilience has to be designed into strategy, procurement and supply networks long before a crisis tests it. Our partnership with Exiger, whose work sits at the intersection of AI, supply chain risk and national security, reflects that conviction. Seeing deep into supply networks and acting on what you find is now a core part of economic and national resilience. Joining the Annual Meeting together lets us carry that perspective to the decision-makers who shape it, and connect the realities of technology, industry and geopolitics to the question at the heart of Davos: how leaders can cooperate credibly in a world being reordered around them.
