The 2025 Annual Meeting of The World Economic Forum is scheduled to take place at Davos-Klosters from January 20 to 24, 2025. This gathering will bring together approximately 3,000 leaders from more than 130 countries, highlighting the importance of open dialogue during these uncertain times.

Trump will return to the White House on Jan 20, with his inauguration coinciding with the start of the 55th annual meeting of political and business leaders in the Swiss resort. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will make a special address and take questions, the WEF said.

Donald Trump will attend next week's World Economic Forum meeting in Davos digitally, its organisers said on Tuesday, as world leaders wait to hear more about the incoming U.S. President's policies and his pledge to end the war in Ukraine.

Donald Trump will attend the WEF virtually, which is scheduled for next week. Three days after entering the White House, his appearance is expected to be the highlight of the annual elite gathering in the Swiss Alpine resort.
