WEF will also be releasing its Global Risks Report 2021 on 19 January in the run-up to the Davos Agenda. Professor Schwab will also launch his newest book on 25 January, “Stakeholder Capitalism: A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet.” The book explores how societies can build the future post-COVID based on the concept of “stakeholder capitalism”. Schwab sees the Davos Agenda and the Singapore meeting as playing a crucial role in shaping the global agenda in the lead up to the G7, G20 and COP-26 meetings. Despite the event having to be virtual, Schwab is more than confident that the “spirit of Davos” will be on full display at the virtual event. “I am really encouraged by our partners. We have more partners now than we had at the beginning of the crisis, which shows that our partners are not just interested in networking...but they really want to engage,” shares the WEF founder.
