May 30, 2022
Last week saw the return of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos – its first in two years. It wasn’t just the January snow that was missing, with heads of state, A-list celebrities, and a sense of optimism also hard to find in the mountains of Switzerland.

May 27, 2022
Davos Digest 2022, Day Four: View from EEMEA Well, we made it. That’s a wrap on another year of the World Economic Forum in Davos. Today, the jets will take off and the cleaners will move in to sweep up all those discarded lanyards and business cards.

May 23, 2022
Davos Digest 2022: Day One Welcome to day one of FleishmanHillard’s Davos Digest 2022. Much has changed in the two years since the world’s elites gathered in a Swiss mountain village to discuss the world’s biggest problems.
