The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is underway in Davos-Klosters in Switzerland from Jan. 21. The theme of this year's meeting is "The New Global Context" for decision making.
This meeting serves as a window to the world for 2015 as many speeches are given by the heads of states and plenary sessions are held where global leaders across business, government, international organizations, academia and society discuss and debate current issues in the face of profound political, economic, social and technological transformations. It is an exceptional opportunity for many leaders to gather in a secluded ski resort in Switzerland for five days and set the world's agenda for the coming year.
With webcasts now available for many of the speeches and major plenary sessions, we can follow the discussions no matter where we are. With social media updating the events in real time, we can get a glimpse of diverse views from different stakeholder groups, despite participation in the meetings being exclusive and limited.
