Participants
500 leaders from politics and business.[1][2]
Own words
The first official Japanese delegation, which was headed by Isamu Yamashita, Chairman of Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co. and the Vice-Chairman of Keidanren, made the journey to Davos. Other members of the group included Taiyu Kobayashi, Chairman of Fujitsu; Minoru Inouye, Deputy President of the Bank of Tokyo; and Takashi Ishihara, President of Nissan Motor Company. Given the prominence today of environmental protection on the global agenda, it is interesting to note that this was already a priority for business leaders at Davos.
For his part, Carl H. Hahn, Chairman of Volkswagenwerk, the German automaker, also called for more attention to be paid to the protection of the environment. "In the long term, this is our only chance".
At this year's Symposium, the CEOs of leading companies in the telecommunications and information industries held separate sessions with relevant ministers and regulators. This would strengthen the Forum’s capability to shape the industry agenda.
