Davos is witnessing a paradigm shift, powered by the tenacity and vision of women leaders steering conversations toward inclusive innovation and equitable health solutions. Per the World Economic Forum (WEF), a significant stride was made towards gender representation, with women constituting approximately 28% of the 3,000 attendees. This assembly included a notable number of global leaders, with over 350 heads of state, government, and ministers. The forum achieved a record-breaking attendance of over 800 women, marking a historic moment in its 54-year history.
It all started with Women Leaders, APCO and Margery Kraus who are one of the oldest women’s forums in Davos with APCO hosting its 40th anniversary celebration at Davos this year. Carine de Meyere founder of Women of the World has been at Davos for 15 years empowering women, making them visible and getting them on various panels.
