For 55 years, the World Economic Forum has set the global agenda. So, what actually happens in the snow?

It is the ultimate VIP club. Expect 3,000 participants, including 60 heads of state. This year, US President Donald Trump has confirmed his return, joining leaders like Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the EU's Ursula von der Leyen.

Among various topics, they will debate geopolitics, quantum economy, green growth and the future of AI.

Our goal this year? To see how the world's political and business elites set the global agenda in person. Last year, we wrote over 130 articles that attracted over quarter of a million page views, so we know you are interested to know the answer.

Meanwhile, Switzerland's Davos is packed with guests and VIPs. Hotel rooms can skyrocket to €3,000 a night, while a two-bedroom flat often goes for €30,000 for the week. As for the luxury chalets? They can easily hit €100,000 to €200,000.

But do not worry: we paid the bill so you would not have to. We do not know yet what will be the main takeaways. But if you stay with us, we can discover it together.

Watch the video in the player above to get the whole picture.
