Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy faced disappointment as his attempts to secure a meeting with Chinese officials during the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, were unsuccessful.

For the first time since the start of Russia's invasion, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has attended the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in person.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that almost 40% of global jobs could be impacted by the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI).

A new survey conducted ahead of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting this week revealed that businesses and governments are poorly managing and regulating new technologies.

The combined wealth of the world's richest five men has more than doubled since 2020, while some five billion people have been made poorer, according to anti-poverty group Oxfam.

World leaders meeting in Davos this week are likely to agree that inequality is a problem but unlikely to do anything about it, the head of the International Labour Organization said.

In a bid to match Silicon Valley's success, the European Commission (EC) launched the Startup Europe Partnership tech startup accelerator and the European Digital Forum think tank at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
