With the curtain drawn on yet another World Economic Forum in Davos, the picturesque Swiss town will once again slink back out of the limelight.
But this year’s event — which coincided with Donald Trump’s return to the White House — will likely linger in the memory.
2025’s forum saw a host of world leaders, executives, and celebrities come together in the Alpine town to discuss some of the hottest global topics, including AI, the workplace, DOGE, and social media.
It also saw protests, parties, and a virtual address from Trump himself.
Business Insider’s editor in chief Jamie Heller was on the ground alongside BI’s international editor Spriha Srivastava, deputy editor Dan DeFrancesco, and senior correspondent Hugh Langley.
Here’s a look at the week through their eyes.
