EFT Report, Davos: A variety of technological, social, economic and political forces are transforming our lives, communities and institutions. Rapidly crossing geographic, gender and generational boundaries, they are shifting power from traditional hierarchies to networked heterarchies. Yet the larger international community is mostly focused on crisis management rather than a strategic focus on trends, drivers and opportunities pushing global and industry transformation. Hence, the focus of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2014 is "The Reshaping of the World: Consequences for Society, Politics and Business." The intent is to develop the insights, initiatives and actions necessary to respond to current and emerging challenges.
The Global Agenda
- How global governance can be improved through public-private cooperation.
- Global issues to be discussed include climate change, multilateral trade and the post-2015 development agenda.
The Economic Agenda
- How to increase global economic risk resilience in the wake of acute structural unemployment and widening income inequality.
- How to manage the consequences of expected changes in monetary policy and financial regulation in the face of slower global growth.
The Regional Agenda
- The social and political transformation occurring in all regions of the world. Emphasis will be on the new actors, policies and structures that are driving stable and legitimate forms of governance to address a wide range of regional and national challenges.
The Industry and Business Agenda
- Strategic insight into the evolution of industry ecosystems and business models, particularly in the context of scientific, technological and policy innovations.
