Day 1 at World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos – Early signals are unmistakable

The world has changed dramatically – and earlier than in previous years, the dominant topics in Davos are already clear: geopolitics and AI.

Both represent profound disruptions that companies must confront head-on. In our first discussions, the prevailing sentiment is telling:
• Geopolitics: cautious, even pessimistic
• Artificial Intelligence: markedly more optimistic

How leaders navigate these two forces will shape the future of their companies. I share more insights and reflections in my Day 1 video summary – watch to learn what’s happening in Davos.
