When world leaders meet in Davos for the annual World Economic Forum summit later this month “harnessing the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution” will be on the agenda.
World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab says the in-person meet is required "to establish the atmosphere of trust that is truly needed to accelerate collaborative action and to address the multiple challenges we face".
But the Forum’s call for the world to “come together” comes at a time when the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine is widening existing geographical, political and economic divides.
