Flows of capital, goods, services and people have boosted productivity and living standards, tripling the size of the global economy over the past three decades. However, tensions over trade and investment are undermining growth and trust.

As the cost of further disintegration severely outweighs the benefits, how can leaders reshape the current system to develop a new agenda for trade, growth and investment?

This session is directly linked to the ongoing work of the Trade and Investment Platform of the World Economic Forum.

This is the full audio of the session at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2023.

If you're lucky enough to have some spare cash to invest, how do you decide where to put it? In the past few years the answer to that question may have changed. The rise of robo-advisers - algorithms that can guide you - and of 'finfluencers' - social media influencers keen to impart their wisdom - have transformed the way many people manage their money.

To find out more about the big changes happening in financial markets and the way individuals approach them, we talk to Steph Guild, CFA and Head of Investment Strategy at Robinhood Financial, and to Laura Astorino, a Managing Director at Accenture.

The ties that bind the world economy together have frayed in recent years. From the competition over advanced microchip manufacturing between the US and China to Russia's war in Ukraine, globalization is undeniably entering a new phase. But has globalization reached the end of the line — or is a resurgence on the cards?

A 20-seater plane powered by a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell engine just made its first test flight. We talk to the company behind it, that believes all planes can be made zero-emissions.

In a recent test flight, ZeroAvia, an engine builder, made history by flying a 20-seater aircraft completely powered by green hydrogen, a zero-emissions fuel. The breakthrough test, which is the largest aircraft to ever be flown using hydrogen power, is a promising step towards a zero-emissions future for the aviation industry.

In this episode of Radio Davos, Val Miftakhov, the CEO of ZeroAvia, talks about the company's mission to develop zero-emission planes, the potential for commercial airlines to adopt this technology, and the role of customer demand and government regulation in achieving a more sustainable aviation industry. The episode also explores the challenges and opportunities in transitioning to zero-emission aviation.

'Polycrisis', a relatively new term, was in the air at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in January, where people were discussing the intertwined global issues of war, economic uncertainty, inflation, recession and the climate crisis, among others. But does that word really tell us anything new about the world we live in and the challenges we face? Historian Adam Tooze tells us about the origins of the term and of the polycrisis itself.

Adam Tooze is Professor of History at the University of Columbia in New York. He is also host of Foreign Policy's weekly economics podcast Ones and Tooze, and the author of books including Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World and, most recently, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy.
