Davos 2009, The breakthrough the world was looking for...

In 1971 the world lived great difficulties and problems; the Indo-Pakistan war, the Cambodian war, and Bangladesh liberation war, but also it was a year of positive breakthroughs; the foundation of Walt Disney world, Intel released their first commercial microprocessor, the Apollo 15 as the starting point for lunar rovers and the NASDAQ debuts on the stock exchange.

But in Switzerland, 2 key issues with great impact to the modern world happened:

1) In February 7, the women gain the right to vote in the country.
2) Klaus M. Schwab , a very influential Swiss economist create the “World economic Forum” in Davos, as a Non for profit foundation with the goal of gather the most influential people in business, government, NGOs , journalist and intellectuals, each year to discuss the course of the world and the global initiatives for improve the state of the world.

Right now, these meetings, also calls the “DAVOS MEETING”, because of the city were held, is the world most important forum.

2009, is a crucial year, world crisis getting worst each day, loose of millions of jobs, getting into bankruptcy financial institutions and companies from all the sectors, and an overall loose of confidence at global level.

“During the five-day meeting, over 2,500 participants from 91 countries will gather in Davos. Around 75% are business leaders, drawn principally from the Forum's members – 1,000 of the foremost companies from around the world and across economic sectors”

Have you ever thought having in the same place: Bill Gates, Gordon Brown, Indra Nooyi, Mark Zuckerberg and Bono in the same place, discussing the global topics?Okay, this is possible in DAVOS MEETING.

All these, combined with the great hope in the new government of President Barack Obama and how he will change the state of the world in 2009.

So, the debate of how Obama administration will improve the state of the world in 2009 is open, I have prepared a short video with information referred to the topic, and as a guide to track the effects of Obama policies around the globe.



In next days I will add more info about the topic, and will give you the outputs of 2009 Davos meeting.
If you have comments, doubts or anything you want to say, leave your comment!

Remember to enter into the debate… why?

Because in 2003, DAVOS MEETING open a space for the general public to discuss the same topics as the global leaders do each year.
