HPE guides global AI transformation at Davos 2025

[mhardi01]

The famous annual Davos gathering, formerly known as the World Economic Forum, takes place from January 20-24 in Davos, Switzerland. It’s being talked about as the largest Davos ever, pulling together business leaders in a holistic, diverse and strategic context, to address the most important topics in global business and beyond.

This year’s theme is “Collaboration for the Intelligent age”, and these top decision-makers from government, business, and civil society will meet to help set their priorities for the year ahead, but also to play a unifying role in responding to rapid tech advancements, shifting geopolitics, and climate challenges.

AI is playing a growing role in finance for analytics, compliance, and mitigating fraud risk to name a few

HPE in the house at Davos 2025

HPE is using space at the “AI House Davos 2025”, which is a multi-stakeholder forum to convene industry leaders, researchers and policy makers to discuss how Artificial Intelligence will shape the future. It represents a partnership across the globe with other similarly aligned organizations including  Merantix – Europe’s leading AI group, ETH AI Center – one of the world's largest hubs for AI research, and G42 – a Abu Dhabi-based AI development holding company.

This location will foster valuable ecosystem networking and create an intellectually stimulating environment to connect industry leaders. When not meeting with customers and partners, HPE team members will be leading speaking sessions on a number of AI-related topics: “Defining Sovereignty in a New Era of AI”, “In the Era of AI, the World is only as strong as our Network Connection”, and “Can We Resolve the Paradox of Sustainable AI”.

The Davos conference: unveiling top trends on the global stage

It’s expected that a number of vital issues and key themes will be explored at the event, such as geopolitical tensions and related trade interventions, the world’s energy transition to net-zero emissions, human health and birthrates, and the latest developments in the space race.

In the area of Finance, there will be continued discussion and debate around blockchain, cryptocurrencies, quantum computing, and of course AI. AI transformation is also expected to be an important subject itself and is at the center of HPE’s presence.  According to data from McKinsey, they expect AI to generate an incredible US$4.4 Trillion of economic value over the next decade. While nearly every company has aspirations of leveraging this emerging technology, only 11% of AI pilot projects undertaken in 2024 have been successfully scaled up, with only 1% of organizations considering their efforts to have attained ‘maturity’.
