President Dr. Julius Maada Bio of the Republic of Sierra Leone is set to join world leaders at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, according to information from State House.
The high-level meeting will bring together heads of state and government, business leaders, civil society representatives, and academics to discuss responses to major global challenges amid changing geopolitical and economic conditions. Organisers say the 2026 meeting places strong emphasis on the need for bold collective action at a time of growing global uncertainty.
A key focus of discussions will be rapid technological transformation, including developments in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, next-generation biotechnology, and advanced energy systems. These technologies are increasingly reshaping economies, transforming industries, and influencing how people live and work across the world.
Participants are expected to examine ways to ensure that technological progress supports resilient and inclusive growth. This includes expanding access to innovation in emerging markets, strengthening workforce skills, and promoting sustainable development solutions.
The 2026 meeting is being held under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue.” According to the World Economic Forum, the theme reflects the aim of providing an impartial platform for open exchange of ideas, engaging diverse global voices, connecting interrelated challenges, and focusing on future-oriented solutions driven by innovation and practical outcomes.
President Bio’s participation will notably reflect Sierra Leone’s commitment to engaging in international discussions on innovation, sustainability, and inclusive economic growth. His attendance also places Sierra Leone within broader global conversations on how developing and emerging economies can leverage technology, partnerships, and policy cooperation to drive national development.
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos remains one of the most influential global platforms for dialogue on finance, technology, and international cooperation, drawing decision-makers who shape policies and investments worldwide.
