A platform putting forward specific proposals was endorsed by 134 NGOs from 38 countries. It will feature 20 NGO experts and academics, and will address global trade and financial policies, global governance issues and the role of transnational corporations. Welcome to Davos, the Capital of Globalization. It is my pleasure to present to you the background, the goals and the program of the Public Eye on Davos. It is hard to match the grand words which Professor Klaus Schwab uses in order to describe the role of his own organization.
Globalization is under pressure.
The Davos man is under siege. The Creator of the Davos spirit likes to remind us that he has warned of an unfettered globalization for many years. The Creator of the Davos spirit has an enlightened vision of globalization. He feels an evident need to offer something to everybody. The Professor needs to please the 1000 largest corporations, which are the members of his Forum.
