From January 20th to 24th, 2025, global leaders will gather in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. This event brings together CEOs, government leaders, and technology experts from over 100 countries to discuss how innovation and collaboration can tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. In this edition, technological hubs will receive special attention as key drivers for the Smart Era.

In Davos 2025, the role of innovation hubs will be analyzed as strategic platforms for integrating advanced technology with disruptive business models. Technological hubs are no longer just physical spaces but interconnected global networks that enable startups, academic institutions, global corporations, and governments to collaborate in designing solutions.
Key panels will explore how hubs are accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence and quantum computing in key industries like biotechnology, transportation, and energy. Proposals will also be made for financing the creation of hubs in emerging markets, allowing regions with less infrastructure to access cutting-edge technologies.
Several major corporations will present commitments to invest in hub development, aiming to strengthen resilient and interconnected supply chains. Emphasis will be placed on how hubs serve as an essential economic structure for growth in an increasingly technological global landscape.
