    Executive briefing: What Davos means for global development

    This Thursday, we're taking our Executive Members behind the scenes of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos for an in-depth analysis of the conversations, commitments, and global partnerships emerging from the forum.

    By Devex Editor // 24 January 2018
    DAVOS, Switzerland — This week, world leaders, business titans, and technology pioneers are convening in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. This year's gathering seeks to forge a prosperous and united path forward in a world faced with enormous challenges such as increasing inequality and increasingly divisive and inward-looking politics. The 2018 theme — "creating a shared future in a fractured world" — is likely to bring about new partnerships and commitments that seek to solve these global challenges. How do global health, international development, and humanitarian response factor into the agenda, and what are the implications for professionals working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals? Here’s the full event: Live from Davos, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar and Senior Reporter Catherine Cheney will take Executive Members inside one of the world's most exclusive gatherings. Read Devex coverage of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos.
