 We recognize that the world is changing at an incredible pace. What the World Economic Forum does is bring together leaders from all different backgrounds, from all different walks of life. And that provides a unique space for new ideas and new solutions to flourish. It's really a very unique place. It's a place where industry comes together to work with government, to work with NGOs, academics to truly make a difference in the world. Leaders come together because of their own personal commitment to one another, to see follow-up to the discussions that they had at our meetings. I'm generally really skeptical about panels and debates and presentations and whatnot, but I've actually been shocked to discover in the last year that it makes a huge difference. The present challenges in a complex, interconnected, fast-moving world cannot be met by one stakeholder group alone. It needs collaborative efforts. Magic moments happen all the time at the World Economic Forum, where the right kind of constituent unexpectedly will come together with somebody else who's looking for exactly that expertise. Not only do the multi-stakeholder groups that we bring together talk, they also make changes. A lot of the answers reside with practitioners, civil society voices, social entrepreneurs, young people and others who are on the ground working with these populations at the front lines and finding solutions. It challenges all your assumptions about your existing world view, regardless of which part of the world you're from and how much experience you have. Nowhere in the world is there another forum which brings together governments, NGOs, corporate leaders, activists, artists, musicians to all come together and talk about the biggest issues facing the world. In global challenges, very often there is no right answer. There is a best answer. That best solution only comes from engaging the diversity of stakeholders.
