Asia Swiss Business Summit @ Davos 2027 is happening in Zurich & Davos

The Summit opens in Zurich on 18 January 2027 and continues in Davos during Davos week, timed to coincide with the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting and its unique concentration of global decision-makers.

Davos has become internationally associated with the annual gathering of leaders from business, government, civil society and academia. The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting has been held in Davos for decades and provides a setting for international dialogue and business engagement.

During Annual Meeting week, the wider Davos environment also hosts independently organised programmes by companies, governments and organisations. Asia Swiss Business Summit @ Davos 2027 uses this international setting to create a dedicated Asia–Switzerland business platform. Davos provides the setting; Asia Swiss Business Summit @ Davos provides the platform.
