To set the record straight, the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting (“Winter Davos Forum”) is held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, at the beginning of each calendar year, bringing together the world’s academics, politicians, business, and media participants from dozens of countries. But did you know: The WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions (“Summer Davos Forum”) has been held each year in China going back to 2007, with Tianjin and Dalian taking turns to host. WEF also holds several regional summits each year in the region.
Yes, if you thought a migration of WEF meetings like this may have only started several years ago, the seeds were planted and sewn 15 years ago! This linked timeline and WEF summary from the “Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations” clearly lays out specifics of the depths of these WEF meetings in China, and also provides an extensive list of speakers and attendees.
