World Economic Forum 2025

As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of our strategic partnership with the World Economic Forum, we welcome the opportunity to share insights and experiences with delegations from around the world when we convene in Davos, Switzerland, from January 20-24, 2025. This year’s theme, Shaping the Intelligent Age, resonates strongly with us, given the breadth and depth of our work in AI. As the focus on AI evolves from promise to performance, we believe it will transform industries at a scale unmatched since the internet’s rise. We’re already helping our clients meet the moment.

2025 WEF Themes

Artificial Intelligence: Power and Peril

AI is not just the next technological wave—it’s the engine of a new industrial revolution. As it rapidly transforms productivity, innovation, and customer experience, companies will need to move quickly from pilots to scalable solutions. But they’ll also need to proceed ethically and responsibly.

The Dual Challenge of the Energy Transition

The energy transition is a critical global challenge that will stretch to 2050 and beyond. To balance decarbonization with energy security and access amid growing demand is essential, and will require the right mix of technology, policy, and investment.

Capital Rationalization

The end of ultra-cheap money combined with inflation and the scope of technology and climate investments presents a long-term challenge for businesses. To thrive in today’s more volatile environment, companies must adopt a disciplined capital allocation strategy that prioritizes projects that align with their long-term goals, optimizes investments, and can adjust to tighter financial conditions.

Post-Globalization

As geopolitical shifts and rising multi-polar tensions reshape global trade companies face new risks—de-globalization, trade conflicts, and regulatory hurdles, to name just three—that demand supply chain resilience and technological independence. But post-globalization also opens doors for automation, reshoring, and enhanced security, creating strategic advantages for companies that can effectively navigate this new world order.

Circularity

Circularity represents a decoupling of economic growth from resource consumption. For companies, it means conserving materials and extending product life through repair, reuse, and recycling. It also includes improving utilization through new business models, which can spur growth, reduce costs, and improve resilience. A circular economy will fundamentally reshape industries—and it’s already underway.
