The future of innovation in a multipolar era

For the first time, the TIME100 Talk took place in its own pavilion on the Davos promenade. With the theme “Innovation in a Multipolar Era”, leaders in business and technology discussed scaling innovation, responsibly using AI, and contemporary leadership. A compact panel format and curated networking reception fostered focused, meaningful discussions.

Concentration on exchange and focus

Mark Howard from TIME magazine opened the afternoon session. This was followed by an in-depth conversation with Vassilis Gkatzelis and a high-profile panel discussion with executives from Honeywell, Dow, NTT DATA, and EY. Moderated by TIME executive editor Nikhil Kumar, the discussion focused on technological development as a social responsibility rather than as an end in itself.

Impact beyond a room

For the first time, the Live Lab Motion Unit produced all of the photo and video content that TIME used in connection with its 2026 Annual Meeting – a testament to the trust placed in us by one of the world’s most renowned media outlets. The conversation, which was filmed, was presented as an editorially curated talk show and made available to audiences beyond Davos. Questions from the audience broadened the discussion, and the panelists shared key ideas within their networks – carrying the conversation far beyond the conference room.
