Listen to "Davos Dispatch — what really went down at WEF '23?" on Spreaker.

In this installment of Davos Dispatch, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar compared notes with Devex Brussels Correspondent Vince Chadwick on what the conference means for global development, the private sector, and how the two can — and must — work together. And despite their differing Davos experiences — Raj moderated a number of WEF panels while Vince joined a frozen press scrum waiting in vain for youth climate activist Greta Thunberg — they both agree that the conference is quite unlike anything else.
