World leaders flock to Davos yearly meeting 2013 - Davos-Klosters, Switzerland 23-27 January

THE WORLD’S most prominent policymakers, economists and businessmen will on Wednesday descend on Davos to hammer out a consensus on building sustainable growth.

The small Swiss village will host close to 50 heads of state or government and more than 1,500 business leaders, as well as top academics and representatives from charities and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), convening for the 2013 World Economic Forum (WEF).

This, the 43rd annual meeting, is centred on “resilient dynamism” – discussing how the global economy can recover from shocks such as the Eurozone crisis – and will feature speakers as diverse as former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and internet innovator Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

Other highlights include a discussion on global development featuring UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
