What have we learnt from Davos 2024?

Every year, political and business leaders from around the world come together in the quaint ski resort of Davos nestled in the Swiss Alps for dialogue on pressing global issues, including not just economic challenges, but environmental concerns and political roadmaps.

The 54th World Economic Forum took place while many countries in the Middle East grapple with geopolitical tensions, from the Israel and Gaza conflict to Sudan. The annual meeting is also happening while the world adapts to the rapid advancements in generative AI.

So, as Davos closes, what happened there this year and - what does it tell us about the direction the world is heading?

In this week’s episode of Beyond The Headlines, host Enas Refaei in Davos dissects the annual event with The National’s Editor-in-Chief Mina Al-Oraibi and CNN’s Richard Quest.
