WEF 2025: Trump’s Presidency Ignites Economic Conversations and New Deal Initiatives
The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2025 is now taking place in the picturesque town of Davos, Switzerland, bringing together influential figures from around the globe. However, this year’s atmosphere has shifted prominently.
With Trump positioned for a potential second term, discussions are now focused on growth, relegating social and environmental issues to a lesser priority. The primary topics of conversation now include trade, deregulation, and the implications of Trump’s actions for global commerce.
WEF Agenda 2025: Emphasizing Growth
The prevailing discourse in Davos revolves around the notion of “growth.” Simon Freakley, CEO of AlixPartners, remarked, “Every CEO serves at the altar of growth and is thinking about how to drive growth in this environment.”
Business leaders are particularly invigorated by Trump’s anticipated executive directives aimed at dismantling existing regulations and boosting U.S. energy output.
This year’s event boasts over 3,000 representatives from 130 nations, with notable figures like Ursula von der Leyen, Olaf Scholz, and Argentina’s Javier Milei adding to the lineup. Trump, eager to contribute, will join via video to share insights on economic strategies later this week.

The evident optimism in U.S. markets reflects the positive expectations stemming from these developments, with stock indices approaching all-time highs. A recent WEF survey indicates a more optimistic outlook regarding economic downturns compared to the previous year.
Focus on China at WEF
Meanwhile, China is taking the spotlight at WEF 2025, praised for its efforts in green transitions spearheaded by technological advancements and its renewable energy agenda. China aspires for carbon neutrality by 2060, buoyed by a significant 70% increase in research funding since 2018, positioning itself as a global leader in exporting technological expertise.

Also notable is the discussion surrounding trade tensions, particularly regarding Trump’s tariffs, which loom over global economic uncertainties. SAP’s Christian Klein suggests that geopolitical volatility will characterize this year’s WEF, with organizers preparing panels to address trade disruptions and supply chain challenges.
Conclusion on WEF 2025
While there is an aura of hope throughout the discussions, not all participants align with the current narrative. Some express concern that WEF is becoming increasingly isolated from real-world scenarios. A Silicon Valley executive observed, “The inauguration and Trumpโs policies outweigh anything being discussed here this week.”
As Trump gears up for a regression to prior deregulatory actions, optimism for growth and deal-making continues, even as global trade apprehensions persist.
