The World Economic Forum (WEF) has revealed its Davos 2021 Agenda, confirming the annual gathering of political and business elites next month will be a digital event heralding the public unveiling of its Great Reset Initiative.
In a preview to the digital “Davos Dialogues”, the WEF asserts, “The time to rebuild trust and to make crucial choices is fast approaching as the need to reset priorities and the urgency to reform systems grow stronger around the world.”
The need for “global leaders to come together to design a common recovery path and shape the Great Reset” in the post-cornavirus world has never been stronger, it adds.

When news broke this week that the World Economic Forum was trading the snowy alps of Davos, Switzerland, for the tropics of Singapore it was widely seen as a public relations coup for the island nation and a testament to its handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
But the one-off switch in location for the forum’s Special Annual Meeting in May 2021 was also seen as something more: a shot in the arm for the section of Singapore’s tourism industry known as “Mice”, or meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions.
Singapore’s $3.8 billion (US$2.8 billion) Mice industry, which supports about 34,000 jobs and accounts for nearly 1 per cent of gross domestic product, has been hit hard as the coronavirus pandemic puts the brakes on international travel.
