Cooperation, Growth and Sustainability in a New Era


Second in a three-part Davos series on shaping a more inclusive, sustainable global economy.
Hosted at the Invest Qatar Pavilion in Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, this three-session programme will explore how innovation, regulation and resilience intersect to shape the global economy of the future.
Global leaders will convene to examine how countries and companies can cooperate in a contested world, unlock new sources of growth, deploy innovation at scale and responsibly, invest in people and build prosperity.
This Financial Times event, hosted in partnership with Invest Qatar, session two will explore how connectivity, trade and tourism can deliver sustainable growth in an uncertain geopolitical landscape. In a fireside chat, Saad Bin Ali Al Kharji discusses how destinations can balance expansion with responsibility, leveraging digital platforms and AI to improve efficiency while embedding environmental stewardship. The panel will explore how supply chains, free zones and logistics networks are evolving toward proactive, low-carbon, innovation-driven models focusing on transparency, cross-border partnerships and the metrics that define resilient, competitive and sustainable connectivity for the decade ahead.
