The 56th World Economic Forum event in Davos was dominated by global technology companies, with their interests overshadowing those of other attendees. The conference saw a large presence of AI and cybersecurity experts, as well as representatives from cryptocurrency firms and A.I. companies. In contrast, initiatives focused on women's health and education received little attention. The forum featured panel discussions on climate change, refugee care, and healthcare, but these were largely relegated to secondary venues. Technology giants were enthusiastic about the lucrative potential of the moment, with CEOs like Daniel Newman expressing bullish views on the future. The event was marked by a shift in focus towards technology and global economic trends.
