World Economic Forum (WEF)
Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC) 2014
For more than three decades, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been holding its Annual Meeting in Davos Switzerland each January which is attended by leaders of government, businesses, academia and the arts. The Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC), also known as the "Summer Davos", was created in 2007 by the Forum to provide the leaders of high growth companies with opportunities to discuss with the leaders of established multinationals on topics that will help them realize their potential as future multinationals.
As a Strategic Partner of WEF, Deloitte played an important role at the AMNC 2014 by participating in a series of panel discussions, workshops and industry partnerships in addition to organising a special event for WEF delegates.
