Spirit of dialogue #WEF26

The 2026 World Economic Forum theme – A Spirit of Dialogue – speaks to this moment in history. Dialogue is a powerful starting point, especially when trust is under strain and global institutions are reassessing their missions as the world changes around them.

With geopolitical turbulence, technological and demographic transformation, and shifting societal expectations, #WEF26 enables conversations across regions and worldviews. As a global re/insurance leader, Swiss Re combines data-driven risk knowledge, strong partnerships and innovative AI technology to advance our core risk-transfer activities. The world is changing, but Swiss Re's purpose, in Davos and beyond, endures: to make the world more resilient.

Swiss Re is again playing a convening role, bringing leaders together to deepen understanding, strengthen relationships and support better risk management. We look forward to the dialogue in Davos with our partners.

  • Resilience as a strategic advantage

    Resilience turns uncertainty into better decisions across the steering cycle.​

  • Navigating the opportunities and risks of AI

    Industrialise AI for sharper insight—while strengthening trust, governance and human judgement.​

  • Convening to enable meaningful progress

    Enabling meaningful progress requires coalition-building that aligns ambition, capital and risk—especially for the transition.​

Andreas Berger, CEO Swiss Re Risk management as a strategic advantage

"Great risk management isn't a defensive play, it is a strategic advantage. Organisations that manage risks successfully see earlier, decide faster and adapt more quickly than their competitors."

Advancing societal benefits of digitalisation ​AI in insurance

Digitalisation is reshaping how risk is understood and managed—creating opportunities to improve insight and close protection gaps, while acknowledging new challenges around trust, governance and data stewardship.
