welcome address by klaus schwab, founder and executive chairman, world economic forum.
“people have labelled this crisis as the worst ever and in many other catastrophic terms. here we do not want to hear about such statements again, even if they are true. we want to concentrate on how we can move out of this crisis and how we can shape the post-crisis world in a constructive manner…
what the world needs most today is integration and cooperation. we will never meet the challenges if we want to do it all alone. the purpose of the world economic forum is not to take decisions but to act as a force for reflection and connection, connecting ideas, proposals, stakeholders, countries and cultures.”
