The 2007 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting starts today in Davos. This year’s theme “The Shifting Power Equation” reflects the elements that are shaping the global agenda: the new power of the emerging economies, the increased leverage of commodity suppliers and the enhanced voice of individuals and small groups. Climate change is also high on the agenda. WEF brings in over 2000 leaders from business, politics, academia and civil society. The multimedia coverage of this meeting is quite amazing. One can see through their website any transcript or webcast, podcast and many blogs. Also for those interested in social entrepreneurship, one of the preconferences leading to Davos was the Schwab Foundation’s Social Entrepreneurs’ Summit in Zurich. I recommend the blog of Jim Fruchterman, also a well known social entrepreneur, who is covering both conferences.
