The World Economic Forum will welcome leaders from throughout the world. They include Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, Olaf Scholz, chancellor of Germany, Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament, Cyril M. Ramaphosa, prime minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, presidents of South Korea and Switzerland, Yoon Suk-yeol and Alain Berset, and Sanna Marin, prime minister of Finland.
