Last week I got the opportunity of a lifetime to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos. So many fascinating discussions, inspiring leaders, movers, thinkers it really made me stop and think of what I need to prioritise to make a true impact on the World.
This could not have happened without an invitation from Helena Wasserman Eriksson who pulled an incredible feat of getting 80+ members from the Top Tier Impact global network to attend, so much gratitude to her, Alessa Berg and the TTI team for arranging so many meaningful connections in 4 days!
Some of the key takeaways:
Food Security
WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development CEO Guide to Food System Transformation: Theo De Jager shared that we must include farmers into the conversation with food innovation and transformation and we must demand that farmers be paid regularly and not per harvest!
MedTech
Burjeel Hospital Financing Cancer Care: A Lancet Oncology Commission: Sonali JohnsonRifat Atun It’s not just about innovation but it’s about ensuring traditional health care therapies can reach a broader audience with the aid of e-diagnostics and digitalisation.
Cloud Connectivity & Web3
The increasing privatisation of cloud services, satellite systems and web3 applications, will allow for further data democratisation, with endless opportunities and access to all.
Just Equitable Diversity Inclusion (JEDI) quoting the inspirational astronaut Sian “Leo” Proctor, Ph.D.
This has been a recurring theme echoed in almost every discussion. The time to act is now, we need to be bold and look inwards to address our biases and empower women and people of colour who have been left behind in so many decisions.
A special thank you to all the incredible minds I met along the way and it could not have been any better that I was hosted by my best friend and mentor (who literally set me up on this path) Lynn Räbsamen, CFA in Schindellegi <3
