The World Economic Forum (WEF, in its acronym in English) has announced this Wednesday that it is postponing the celebration of its annual meeting in the Swiss station of Davos. It will not be held, as planned, next January, but at the beginning of the summer, according to a statement published by the organization chaired by Klaus Schwab.
“The decision has not been easy, given that global leaders need to meet personally to design a common path for recovery and in the face of the need to shape a large post-covid global economic revival. However, the advice of the experts was that the Forum cannot be held safely in January ”, he points out in his note.
During the traditional week of the Davos Forum, whose next meeting was to start on January 25, the WEF holds the Davos Dialogues, where top-level world leaders share their vision on the world situation. The initially scheduled date came just after the new president of the United States took office.
The Forum has not yet decided where the new annual meeting will be held next summer. "Details will be provided as soon as the Forum has assurance that all the conditions for holding a safe meeting for our participants and organizers are met."
It will be the second time in its 50-year history that the Davos Forum is not held in the elite Swiss ski resort. Only after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers did he move to New York the following January as a show of solidarity with the American people and business. But that date was also in January and not in summer like this time.
