DARE - Because Entrepreneurs Do

An 85-member strong CII delegation from India will participate in the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from 28 January-1 February 2009. The delegation comprises high-ranking government officials, CEOs of major Indian companies, media and civil society representatives. The Commerce and Industry Minister, Mr Kamal Nath, will lead the delegation.

The overarching theme of the meeting is "Shaping the Post Crisis World". The Indian contingent is part of the over 2500 participant-strong community that will include a record 41 heads of state or government, key finance, foreign, trade and energy ministers, along with religious, media and cultural leaders, social entrepreneurs and heads of non-governmental organizations from 96 countries.

Apart from looking at the immediate crisis and ways to stabilize and relaunch the global economy, the annual meeting program also pinpoints a number of interrelated global risks including climate change, food and water security. The meeting's program will follow six programmatic tracks that are high on the global agenda in 2009. These include Promoting Stability in the Financial System and Reviving Global Economic Growth; Ensuring Effective Global, Regional and National Governance for the Long Term; Addressing the Challenges of Sustainability and Development; Shaping the Values and Leadership Principles for a Post-Crisis World; Catalysing the Next Wave of Growth through Innovation, Science and Technology; and Understanding the Implications on Industry Business Models.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Federal Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Gordon Brown; and Premier Taro Aso of Japan will address participants at sessions of the Meeting.
