Singapore swing

7 December 2020 By Una Galani Follow @ugalani

The city state makes for a decent approximation of the Swiss enclave to host the annual World Economic Forum gathering. It’s clean, safe, a private wealth hub and neutral enough. With the future billionaire class emerging from Asia, it might even suit as more than a stopgap site.

The World Economic Forum said on Dec. 7 that it will convene its special annual meeting 2021 in Singapore on May 13 to May 16, returning to Davos, Switzerland in 2022.

“A global leadership summit is of crucial importance to address how we can recover together,” said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the WEF. The 2021 meeting “will be a place for leaders from business, government and civil society to meet in person for the first time since the start of the global pandemic.”

The group announced plans in October to hold the event in Lucerne-Buergenstock, Switzerland, from May 18 to May 21. In August, it decided not to have it in Davos, Switzerland, in January as usual due to the coronavirus pandemic.
