Sharing the same concerns and goals with the leaders of the global economy who will be gathering in Davos to pave the way “for a Cohesive and Sustainable World,” SIGEF by Horyou has opted to showcase its own commitment to sustainability through the organization of a side-event to offer a complementary and supportive inclusive vision for a better world.

Building on its “Together Shaping a Smarter Future” theme, SIGEF will add social innovation and global ethics to the Davos gathering. The event will take place on the morning of the 22nd of January at the Kirchner Museum. It will kick off with a networking breakfast. Four panels will make the program of the event.

In the wake of this new technological age, we aim to contribute to the building of a smarter future for the world as we are bringing together, in their diversity, some of the actors who are leading the positive changes we want to see,” says Yonathan Parienti, founder and CEO of Horyou, organizer of SIGEF.
