World Economic Forum
2025
Travel securely even when
it's high-profile.
Depend on Fortis at WEF for secure, private travel so you can achieve more.
January 20-24, 2025
The 55th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting is set to take place January 20-24, 2025, in Davos, Switzerland. This global gathering attracts 2,000-3,000 of the most influential leaders from government, business, academia, media, and civil society. Together, they’ll tackle the challenges shaping our world—while we make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible behind the scenes.
While there are no specific threats on the radar, history shows that WEF often draws a crowd—sometimes not the friendly kind. This year, we’re watching for climate change protests and demonstrations related to world conflicts. There’s also the standard terrorism risk that comes with traveling in Europe.
But don’t worry—Fortis thrives on the unexpected. Start planning with Fortis to keep your travel as seamless as possible.
Badges
Access at WEF 2025 is highly controlled, with badges serving as your key to navigate Davos. Congress Centre Badges are reserved for top-tier invitees and essential personnel, while Affiliate Badges provide limited access to roads and hotels. Frequent badge checks and strict security measures add layers of complexity to simply getting where you need to go. Fortis facilitators ensure you and your team have the right credentials at the right time, eliminating delays and confusion. Note: Fortis principals utilizing a Fortis facilitator will need to request badge access for their facilitator by January 12.
Lodging
Davos’s small size and limited accommodations mean finding a room—let alone the right one—can feel like a logistical marathon. If you’re staying outside the village, expect road closures, weather delays, and heavy traffic to add to the challenge.
Chauffeurs
Navigating Davos during WEF requires more than just a car and a map—road closures, checkpoints, and snowstorms make timely arrivals a delicate art. Fortis chauffeurs are trained for the unique challenges of this high-security event, combining precision driving with real-time coordination. Plus, with a Fortis facilitator ensuring seamless route planning and scheduling, you’ll avoid delays and stay ahead of the complexities.
Security
With heightened security measures in place, WEF 2025 attracts its share of protests and potential disruptions. Add in a general risk of terrorism across Europe, and the stakes rise even higher. Fortis proactively manages risk, coordinating with advance teams, monitoring real-time developments, and ensuring seamless execution. Whether it’s cyber threats, protests, or logistical challenges, Fortis delivers security that fits—so you can focus on the event, not the risks.
