Overview
History at a Turning Point: Government Policies and Business Strategies
As the world faces the most consequential geopolitical and geo-economic moments, all against the backdrop of a once-in-a-century pandemic, the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022 brought together nearly 2,500 leaders and experts committed to the “Davos Spirit” of improving the state of the world. The meeting provided a platform for thought leaders worldwide to reconnect, share insights, and gain fresh perspectives. Only through cooperation can we build real problem-solving communities and launch initiatives to tackle global issues and find solutions to the world's most urgent challenges.
Davos presented an opportunity to engage with leaders across sectors to advance a world that looks very different to when this group last met in personNick Studer, CEO and President, Oliver Wyman

The transformational shift in China towards a capital market driven financial system paired with the ongoing opening of what has become a $58 trillion market to foreign institutions presents significant opportunities to global financial institutions and investors. Join this session with opening remarks from Ted Moynihan to explore how financial institutions can capture these evolving opportunities and to see which partnership models between global and domestic institutions have proven most successful.
Monday, May 23, 12:00–13:30 CET
Hosts: Nick Studer, CEO, Oliver Wyman; Ted Moynihan, Managing Partner, Oliver Wyman
With: Adena Friedman, President and CEO of Nasdaq; Michael Miebach, CEO of Mastercard
Companies and societies face significant challenges. Recovering from a global pandemic, mounting inflation, war-stressed supplies, and a closing window to accelerate the transition to net-zero all loom large. The Financial Services industry needs to play an integral role in helping to steer the global economy through these challenges. At the same time the forces of disruption in the industry driven by decentralised finance and digital assets are accelerating. In a fireside chat with Adena Friedman, President and CEO of Nasdaq and Michael Miebach, CEO of Mastercard, we explore how Financial Services can collaborate and transform in new ways to help face these challenges.
Tuesday, May 24, 07:00 am CET
Hosts: Shirin Pakfar and Siddhartha Sinha (UNHCR); Nick Studer and Christian Edelmann (Oliver Wyman)
The UNHCR are launching a Refugee Environmental Protection (REP) Fund to invest in reforestation and clean cooking programs in refugee situations globally. The fund is a flagship, high visibility project run by the UNHCR and with direct support from the High Commissioner. It is a central part of UNHCR’s Operational Strategy for Climate Resilience and Environmental Sustainability 2022-2025. Oliver Wyman has supported some of the work underpinning the ideation and planning of the fund over the last year. We are now one of the corporate founding partners alongside two governments, a prominent law firm, and a large European development bank. We wish to extend an invite to other partners to join us on this multi-year journey on this transformative opportunity.
