Oliver Wyman Forum At The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025

The 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos promises to be an agenda-setting event once again, convening world leaders to address key global and regional challenges. This year's Meeting will convene under the theme of "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age," with a programme oriented around five distinct but interconnected thematic priorities: Reimagining Growth, Industries in the Intelligent Age, Investing in People, Safeguarding the Planet, and Rebuilding Trust. 

We will continue to play an integral role at the forum, hosting events, moderating panels, and leading advanced conversations. Our goal, as part of Marsh McLennan, is to help business and government leaders navigate through uncertainty, harness the power of science and ingenuity, and unlock new possibilities in a rapidly evolving world.

As knowledge partner of the World Economic Forum, we are committed to driving initiatives towards a net-zero and nature-positive future, engaging a diverse community of stakeholders.
