# World Economic Forum: A preview of Davos 2026

McKinsey & Company webinar (Jan 15, 2026) previewing Davos 2026 (Jan 19-23) under the theme "A Spirit of Dialogue." The session was organised around five interconnected priorities: cooperation in a contested world; deploying innovation responsibly and at scale, with AI projected to add over $15 trillion to global GDP by 2030; unlocking new sources of growth against projected global growth of just 3.1% for 2026; investing better in people, as 22% of today's jobs worldwide will change in five years driven by AI; and building prosperity within planetary boundaries, with nature-positive business models potentially unlocking $10 trillion annually by 2030. Also flagged the "brain economy" — a medium-sized firm improving labour engagement could save up to $22 million annually. Useful baseline for SEA mid-market boards setting 2026 strategy.
