Navigating Global Trends: Insights from the World Economic Forum and the Implications for Businesses in Asia

*This event is closed to the media, and Chatham House Rule will apply for all attendees. The session will be conducted in English.

Each year in January, a cross-section of the world’s most influential leaders in business, government, science and culture gathers in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting. This five-day forum plays a pivotal role in setting the global agenda, influencing decisions in both corporate executive suites and public-sector strategies worldwide.

Global law firm Baker McKenzie is an active contributor to these critical discussions, engaging with global leaders and gaining first-hand insights into the perspectives that will shape markets, governance and business in the years ahead.

Milton Cheng, Baker McKenzie’s Global Chair, will share his reflections on the key global themes from Davos 2025 and their potential impact for businesses operating in Asia. You will also hear from AmCham leaders as they delve deeper into the insights and explore the takeaways for succeeding in an increasingly complex environment for business.
