The Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum will take place in Davos (Switzerland) from 20 to 24 January 2025. The event convenes global leaders to address key global and regional challenges. These include responding to geopolitical shocks, stimulating growth to improve living standards, and stewarding a just and inclusive energy transition.

Announcing the Brain House

The Brain House is built on a fundamental truth: the brain— our source of innovation, creativity, and collaboration—is the most valuable driver of economic growth, resilience and transformation. By harnessing this potential, we can tackle the urgent crises of our time while reimagining progress that benefits everyone. In this pivotal moment, The Brain House is more than a venue—it is a call to action. Here, leaders, innovators, and changemakers from across sectors and continents will converge to:
• Build an inclusive and resilient global coalition prepared to lead transformative change.
• Understand the connections between the brain, climate change, population aging, AI and global issues reshaping our world.
• Share urgent, actionable solutions to today’s global crises while driving productivity and boosting GDP.
• Mobilize resources and innovation at scale to meet the magnitude of our shared challenges.

Brain House 2025 will take place inside of the Icon, a newly-built and centrally located circular venue with a dedicated space for coworking, meetings, hosted events and studio time all in one place. Located directly behind the Hilton Hotel and across from the Migros Café, this venue will offer easy access to the Congress Centre and other key event venues on the Promenade, while providing a dedicated and recognizable headquarters for Brain House activities to take place in.
