WEF Annual meeting, Davos 2023

What was of interest at Davos 2023?

From the cooperation in a fragmented world theme there were 2 moments that were of interest to me.

  1. An announcement: 9 new industrial clusters joined the Transitioning Industrial Clusters Towards Net Zero initiative. This created at COP26, aims to create a global movement to accelerate the transformation of industrial clusters needed for net-zero emissions. Read more about it in our blog, Clusters to accelerate the net zero transition.

  2. Representation: Ilham Kadri, Solvay CEO, spoke on a CNBC-moderated panel at Davos 2023.

Take away from the panel intervention: One word, competitiveness.

  • Need competitive infrastructure and policies

  • Need to speed up permitting, bureaucracy is still to heavy.
