The event kicked off with the presentation of esteemed Crystal Awards to distinguished individuals David Beckham, Diane von Furstenberg, and Riken Yamamoto, recognizing their contributions to various fields.

Over 2,000 leaders from the government, business, culture, and Civil society converged at the meeting to tackle pressing global issues such as the impact of geoeconomic changes and technological advancements. WEF President Borge Brende stressed the urgent need for collective efforts to address these complex challenges facing humanity.

In an effort to emphasize the gravity of environmental concerns, a unique opening concert was held, featuring classical music intertwined with captivating AI visuals, focusing on the rapidly deteriorating ice caps of Antarctica, which threatens the planet's ecosystem. The WEF meeting marks a significant complement to the UN's 2025 initiative to preserve glaciers worldwide.
