World Economic Forum and ICAEW

For a week in January every year the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting at Davos is the centre of attention for the world’s statesmen, business leaders, academics, policymakers and media. It’s here where they can discuss the central issues confronting the world, whether they be technological change, the burden of debt, climate change or trade governance.

ICAEW represents the accountancy profession with the aim to help build a better and more sustainable world through the global collaboration that Davos represents.
