A spirit of dialogue focused on rethinking global systems
Davos–Klosters | 21 January 2026
During WEF Week 2026 in Davos–Klosters, SwissCham Asia and Singularity Academy convened an exclusive, invitation-only dialogue under Chatham House Rule, bringing together senior leaders from business, finance, policy, and diplomacy across Europe and Asia.
Strategic Swiss Partners (SSP) was pleased to participate in this high-level exchange. Guna Mahalingam, founder and CEO of SSP, serves as a member of the Executive Board of SwissCham Asia and a fellow of Singularity Academy (Finance), while SSP partners and affiliates are active members of the chamber. The dialogue emphasised substance over visibility and long-term perspectives over short-term narratives, focusing on key structural tensions shaping the global landscape, including sovereignty and interdependence, technology and governance, capital and credibility, and demography and productivity.
The event brought together a group of enthusiastic participants helping to rewire the world, exchanging ideas and exploring new pathways for collaboration across business, policy, and technology.
Passionate participants working together to redefine the future of global collaboration
SSP values curated platforms that enable trusted dialogue, continuity of relationships, and thoughtful exchange among decision-makers. Such engagements align closely with SSP’s role as an independent strategic advisor, supporting clients and partners in navigating complexity, fostering sustainable value creation, and strengthening long-term cross-regional relationships between Europe and Asia.
