We at BCG are excited to engage with the World Economic Forum’s virtual programming in early 2022. We look forward to joining public and private leaders in person at the Annual Meeting later in the year to address global societal and business challenges.
This year’s theme, “Working Together, Restoring Trust,” is a response to the way the pandemic has shone an unforgiving light on the failure to grapple with persistent global issues such as inequality and climate change. Despite these challenges, we firmly believe in the power of unlocking the potential of those who advance the world. In this vein, we’re looking forward to joining leading experts from business, society and government to work towards solutions that rebuild trust and shape a more sustainable future.
Among other things, our experts are looking forward to diving deep into conversations with fellow thinkers and leaders to discuss artificial intelligence, climate and sustainability, and the future of work—three critical forces that will continue to influence policymaking and business strategy in the years ahead.
Our CEO, Christoph Schweizer, will lead BCG’s delegation at Davos. Prior to assuming his current role, Christoph served as BCG’s chairman for Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East. He has also served as a member of the firm's Executive and Operating Committees since 2014. Christoph’s interest in artificial intelligence and climate and sustainability—as well as his thoughts on leadership amid today’s uncertainty—are sure to be key drivers of conversation.
