Davos week 2027 · 14–25 January · Vaduz
Think deeper.
One hour from Davos.
While leaders gather in Davos for the World Economic Forum from 18 to 22 January 2027, the big questions feel urgent: AI, new business ecosystems, the future we are building. Take that momentum to Vaduz. In a half-day knowledge exchange with Michael Lewrick, your board, team or delegation turns Davos conversations into decisions.

Use the momentum of Davos week
Workshops in Vaduz run all year. Davos week is different. For a few days, leaders from business, politics and science meet in one valley, and topics like AI or the future of value creation stop being abstract.
Many guests arrive early or stay a day longer. That is the moment to step away from back-to-back meetings, think with a small group and leave with something you can act on.
Energy, urgency, focus: the week when the world’s agenda is set is the best week to sharpen your own.
