AMNC26: What just happened at the Summer Davos?

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

The Chinese port city of Dalian just hosted the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions – AMNC26 – often known as the Summer Davos.
Innovating at scale was the official theme, and we heard lots on that – but also geopolitics, not least the rivalry between China and the US. On this episode we get a flavour of the discussions and hear from the people at the World Economic Forum who are working on the big issues throughout the year.

How can new graduates prepare for the workplace as AI replaces entry level jobs

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

This year’s graduates are entering a very different workplace from their predecessors. As employers integrate AI across organizations, the market for entry-level jobs is changing fast.

How can #graduates prepare for this fast-changing world? Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer at AI-workforce platform Cornerstone OnDemand, and Maria Flynn, President and CEO of Jobs For The Future, share their insights.

The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. It provides a global, impartial and not-for-profit platform for meaningful connection between stakeholders to establish trust, and build initiatives for cooperation and progress.

Ideas on the Move: Andrew Forrest

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

"The technology is there. What is lacking now is leadership."

Andrew Forrest joined us in Dalian for Ideas on the Move with a message aimed at political leaders: the solutions to the climate transition already exist. What’s missing isn’t innovation – it’s courage.

Riding through Summer Davos on an electric golf cart, he made the point in real time: the efficient, scalable alternatives are already here. The barrier isn’t technical, it’s the will to implement and the policy to scale.

His challenge to leaders: you can go down in history as the one who made this happen.

"Don’t let ambition become self-sacrifice”

@astrosoichi on what space taught him about ambition, limits, and readjusting to life on the ground – which he says was the hardest part.

As an overachiever, he says, you push to do more than you can handle. Eventually something gives, be it your health, your relationships, or your daily life.

His advice to the next generation: don’t let that something be you.

How air bubbles can remove 99.9% of forever chemicals from water

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

‘Forever chemicals’ are found in masses of products, from non-stick pans to clothing. As their nickname suggests, these per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are hard to get rid of.

US company Allonnia provides a solution to remove PFAS from water using air. As bubbles rise, they separate out more than 99.99% of PFAS molecules.

PFAS destruction technologies have been selected as one of the World Economic Forum’s Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2026.

Ideas on the Move: Asma Khan

"Without the ingredients, we would be nothing."

Author and restaurateur Asma Khan says success on the food scene shouldn’t mean putting chefs on a pedestal, but instead recognizing the people who make every meal possible.

Joining us in Dalian, China for #AMNC26, the founder of Darjeeling Express discussed how she wants her own journey to inspire hope in others – from starting as a Muslim immigrant in her forties to creating one of London’s most celebrated restaurants.

Today, she’s calling for greater recognition of farmers, and emphasises the importance of the healthy soils and food systems which are vital for making nutritious, high-quality food accessible to everyone.

There are now 80 machines for every human online

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Non-human identities, from bots to AI agents to Internet of Things devices, now massively outnumber people online.

Many of these NHIs have authorization to carry out tasks on behalf of human users. But has security kept up with the pace of these new capabilities? Helmut Reisinger of @paloaltontwks discusses the challenge.

In the Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026, 87% of leaders surveyed identified AI-related vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk.

Your home could be powered by an electric car

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

In the evening, power grids are under strain as millions of people switch on lights, appliances and air conditioners.

Meanwhile, fully charged electric cars sit idle, holding power that the grid needs.

A new technology called everything-to-grid energy is addressing this gap. It can turn vehicles, buildings and factories into nodes in a flexible, intelligent network that shares power with wherever it’s most needed. Electric vehicle owners receive money, utility bill credits or reduced financing costs in return. In developing regions, the technology could allow fleets of e-bikes or even agricultural tools to act as back-up power sources for the whole community.

Everything-to-grid has been selected as one of the World Economic Forum’s Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2026.

"Curious, kind, and alive."

That’s how designer @MadelineGannon thinks robots should behave. Not like machines, but like animals.

Her drive? Pure impatience for a future she’d rather just go build herself.

Extreme Weather Prediction & Job Sectors Most at Risk from AI | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

This week’s top stories of the week include:

00:14 – Job sectors most at risk to AI: An entry-level job is usually the first stepping stone in a career. Today, however, AI is upending that paradigm. 37% of young workers around the world are in roles with a medium to high exposure to AI-driven #disruption.

01.47 – Ageing populations are a benefit: How can society reframe #ageing away from narratives about fear, dependency and loss, and instead recognize the huge contributions that older people make? These are the questions at the forefront of George Wharton’s mind. Associate Professor of Health Policy at the London School of Economics, he works to bring about human-centred, coordinated care systems fit for an era in which, by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be 60 or over.

03.30 – Chinese city powers trucks using waste: Heavy trucks carry two-thirds of the world’s freight – and while they make up around 4% of the vehicles on our roads, they emit 11% of all transport emissions. The city of #Dalian is turning to #hydrogen fuel cells for trucks to ensure clean energy supply.

04.51 – New AI predicts extreme weather: Faster, more accurate predictions about where a hurricane is going to hit can save lives. But existing weather prediction models tend to be expensive and slow, says Marvin Gabler, CEO of Jua. Now AI is stepping into this gap. Gabler explains how.
