WEF president and CEO Borge Brende has stressed that dialogue is essential, framing Davos as a global platform for discussion.
EDP aims to contribute to global discussions on actionable, solution-oriented paths to enhance resilience, competitiveness, and inclusive growth, aligned with WEF 2026’s theme ‘A Spirit of Dialogue.’
EDP’s primary objective at Davos is to advance discussions that align with the theme and focus on practical solutions for energy and economic resilience.

EDP will participate in sessions addressing structural economy and energy challenges, highlighting energy as a pillar of security, electrification, infrastructure resilience, innovation, AI, and renewables’ role in competitiveness.
Other major energy-sector participants are expected, with Davos historically hosting fewer fossil-fuel discussions, though corporate participation in the oil sector remains present.
Donald Trump is also set to attend Davos, marking a notable moment amid ongoing global tensions and policy considerations.
EDP’s Davos presence reflects its strategy of engaging in major international economic and energy forums during a critical period of energy transition and heightened focus on energy security.
