The founder of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, said at the official opening of the annual meeting in Davos that we need to rebuild trust in our future and ability to overcome challenges, but also to build trust in each other.
Klaus Schwab pointed out that our world is increasingly interconnected, but that, paradoxically, it is also more divided than ever, reports Tanjug.
Technological innovations offer boundless opportunities, but also unprecedented risks that lead to uncertainty, fear and pessimism, force us to short-term crisis management at the expense of long-term strategic and sustainable solutions, and such an approach also undermines our faith in the future, stressed Švab.
This is why we need a paradigm shift and rebuilding trust in the future and awareness that our actions today have far-reaching consequences in the world of tomorrow, concluded the founder of the World Economic Forum.
The president of the World Economic Forum, Berge Brende, said that the current situation in the world is characterized by "complex geopolitical divisions" and that it is necessary to overcome challenges through joint cooperation.
The President of Switzerland, Viola Amherd, warned of threats to the democratic development of societies and political trends that undermine the trust of citizens and their faith in a common future.
The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum began on Monday in Davos under the slogan "Rebuilding Trust" and until January 19 will host more than 100 representatives of countries, all major international organizations, 1.000 partners of the World Economic Forum, as well as civil society leaders, experts, representatives youth, social entrepreneurs and news agencies.
