The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos brings together heads of state, global business leaders, policymakers, technologists, and civil society to address the most urgent economic, technological, and geopolitical challenges shaping the world.
As emerging technologies—from generative AI to digital assets—reshape how value, authority, and information move across borders, discussions in Davos increasingly center on scaling innovation responsibly and with resiliency.
Socure’s participation reflects a core belief that the future digital economy must be built on a foundation of trusted, global identity. At Davos 2026, Socure is engaging with leaders to explore how identity can serve as critical global infrastructure in an increasingly autonomous and interconnected world.
WEF 2026: A Spirit of Dialogue in a Time of Global Change
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 is organized around the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue,” emphasizing collaboration, trust-building, and constructive engagement amid rising global complexity.
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting agenda centers on several global priorities shaping the year ahead, including:
Cooperation in a contested world
Deploying innovation responsibly
Reigniting sustainable growth
Navigating planetary boundaries
Investing in people and human potential
Across these priorities, participants will examine how accelerating technological change is challenging existing institutions, governance models, and regulatory frameworks, and what new foundations are required to support a more resilient, trusted global economy.
For Socure, these conversations intersect directly with the need for modern trust infrastructure. As AI agents transact autonomously, stablecoins enable instant cross-border value exchange, and digital interactions accelerate, identity becomes a prerequisite for progress, not an afterthought. The Annual Meeting provides a critical context for examining how trusted identity, real-time risk intelligence, and compliance-ready systems can enable innovation while safeguarding global economic stability.

AI and the New Face of Fraud
Attendee: Johnny Ayers
How artificial intelligence is reshaping crime, security and trust in the digital economy Artificial intelligence is transforming the fraud landscape. Criminals are deploying AI to automate and scale attacks, from ultra-realistic phishing and deepfake investment scams to fabricated financial documents and romance fraud. Global losses are estimated at more than $1 trillion annually, with Southeast Asia emerging as a global hub for industrial-scale scams. At the same time, financial institutions and technology firms are using AI to detect and prevent these threats in real time — an escalating technological arms race.
