The World Economic Forum (WEF) will bring together heads of state, the private sector, and specialists to address the main challenges of global development, with a focus on topics such as growth, industrial innovation, investment in people, sustainability, and international cooperation.

The President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, will travel to Davos, Switzerland, to participate in the annual meeting that brings together leaders from around the world with the aim of discussing and seeking solutions to various international challenges.

This year's edition will focus on five key themes:

Reimagining Growth: Reviving and reimagining growth is critical to building stronger and more resilient economies. How can we identify the new sources of growth in this new global economy?

Industries in the Intelligent Age: Industries have had to adapt their business strategies to account for major geo-economic and technological shifts. How can business leaders strike a balance between the short-term goals and long-term imperatives in the transformation of their industries?

Investing in People: Geoeconomic changes, the green transition and technological advancements are impacting everything from employment, skills and wealth distribution to healthcare, education and public services. How can the public and private sectors invest in human capital development and good jobs that contribute to the development of a modern and resilient society?

Safeguarding the Planet: Innovative partnerships and dialogue that enable investments and the deployment of climate and clean technologies will be critical to make progress on global climate and nature goals, as well as to address the energy triangle of achieving equitable, secure and sustainable energy systems. How can we catalyze energy, climate, and nature action through innovative partnerships, increased financing, and the deployment of frontier technologies?

Rebuilding Trust: In an increasingly complex and fast-moving world, societal divides have deepened, geopolitics is multipolar, and policy is shifting towards protectionism, hampering both trade and investment. How can stakeholders find new ways to collaborate on solutions both internationally and within societies?


"The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a global platform for cooperation, where Peru has an invaluable opportunity to continue demonstrating its importance as a strategic partner in the world," it noted via social media.

Within this framework, Peru will play a leading role in the forum. The South American country's participation in this event is important for strengthening its international projection and contributing to the search for solutions to world challenges.
