We at BCG are excited to send our delegation to join public and private leaders at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos to address global societal and business challenges.
The 2023 theme, “Cooperation in a Fragmented World,” reflected the urgent need for cohesion and collaboration at a time of extreme uncertainty. Societies and businesses around the globe face unprecedented challenges and the threat of prolonged difficulties—war, climate change, energy, economics, the pandemic, and other pressing issues. Solving these crises will take a truly multidisciplinary, multistakeholder approach, with leaders having to take a hard look at the work required to transform today’s obstacles into tomorrow’s opportunities.
BCG CEO Christoph Schweizer, in an interview by Hub Culture's Edie Lush, recaps his time spent at the WEF Annual Meeting—highlighting key insights as well as surprises, disappointments, and reasons to be excited for the future.

Recent legal changes and the expansion of LGBTQI+ rights in a number of countries suggest progress. What lessons from these success stories can be applied in other contexts? Watch BCG's Sharon Marcil discuss among other global leaders.
Each year, our experts look forward to diving deep into conversations with fellow thinkers and leaders to discuss the most pressing topics of the day—business resilience, artificial intelligence, and climate and sustainability among them.
Resilience
In this series, we examine the disruptive forces that are bearing down on business leaders today, so that they can understand where opportunities exist amid the uncertainty.
Resilience
Risks associated with the Russia-Ukraine war and complications in China-US trade are encouraging a major reorientation toward ASEAN and other developing markets.
Artificial Intelligence
A new study by BCG and MIT Sloan Management Review finds that treating responsible AI strictly as a way to avoid AI failures is incomplete. Responsible AI leaders take a broader, more strategic approach that generates value for the organization and the world around them.
artificial intelligence
Our recent survey shows that using artificial intelligence at work benefits both organizations and employees. Increasing employee awareness, trust, and understanding of AI further enhances its value.
Climate Change and Sustainability
Green products are costly. But leading companies are finding untapped demand— and showing what it takes to win more sustainability.
Climate Change and Sustainability
A major international initiative aims to cut carbon emissions by guaranteeing demand for new breakthrough technologies in hard-to-abate industries such as steel, transportation, and concrete.
BCG is proud to partner with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to shape public and private agendas and drive sustainable positive impact. Our shared goal is to engage stakeholders and improve business and government outcomes on a global scale. Current collaborations include:
